| ownership: | I own this lens |
| compared to: | Vivitar 100/3.5, Minolta 50/1.7 |
| price paid: | 549 USD (new @ B&H) |
| positive: | - Wonderful bokeh - Sharp - Focus limiter and lock - Circular aperture |
| negative: | - CA (significant) - AF speed (full "hunt" - from infinity to 1:1 and back takes 3.3s on 7D, 3.0s on 5D, 2.8s @fast AF and 3.8s @slow AF on α700) - however, reasonably fast for distant shooting |
| comment: | A pleasure to use! There's nothing better in 100mm/macro area I think. Better bokeh than Sigma 105/2.8 |
