Quantaray (in this case likely Sigma) as with all lens made in the 30 or so years are computer aided designed, automated manufacturing, made to very high standards, at least optically. It will be softer wide open or stopped to F 16. If it gear driven AF, then the N75 has a good motor, if it a G type lens with micromotors then Sigma but a decent set of motors. What you get with a high end lens is better coating and build quality and tack sharp from 28 to 200. Although most of Quantary lens were rebranded Sigma, thinking about it, might be Tamron. For $25 you got a bargain, great travel lens.
This has turned into quite a journey for you it seams. Please do post some photos made with your N75 collection and some of the gear collected as well.
I visit Texas two to three times a year. My daughter and son-in-law live half way between Austin and Dripping Springs. My wife and I will be there in early June for our Identical twin granddaughters fourth birthday celebration. We are actively searching for a home to purchase in Kerrville cause we had enough snow to last a lifetime
We are currently living in Colorado Springs.I have a sister in San Marcos and my 88 year old mother lives there as well in assisted living. The real-estate market is a little overheated these days, been trying for a while now. Too much demand and too little inventory.
Make it happen! Real estate here is getting stupid expensive since the Californians found us. I can’t afford a house, but you may be fine moving from Colorado with wads of cash.
I have not ridden a bike since I was in college. This is my son-in-laws ride. He is mostly a weekend warrior.

It's nice to know that the Californians are moving to Texas -- and that the Coloradans are moving there too!
The average (MEDIAN) house in Denver just hit $675,000.
Enjoy that Texas heat!!!
I was born in Texas, my wife in Denver. Her Dad was Air Force and wound up attached to NASA which was based in Texas then. She still has family in Colorado so when we retired five years ago we decided to give living there a try. Then we became grandparents. Then Covid happened. Then inflation happened. We hope to get close to our family back in Texas if we can work it out somehow. I went out and bought an old Chris Rea CD for this song on it. I play it a lot
Bring a motorcycle. The roads here are great.
Drive in a straight line for 40 miles, make a right turn, repeat and infinite number of times.
You got a bargain, it might be just fine for your purposes. Then one day you'll start lurking in the classifieds, start shopping for better and better (more and more expensive) lenses, maybe a better SLR......
Knowing that there is always better gear. I bought a F4s, good buy $120 with high speed grip, have 4 E AIS primes, they work fine in a fashion, now looking for a few early AF primes, or might pick up a few D level Sigma zooms.
Have to send it back for another, the one I got, will not read past F8 on a 50mm lens, the ring with the tab on the mount that moves as the aperture is manually changed is frozen. Looking forward to another copy. The seller has been very good about working with me to make sure it was not user error.
