comment: | I'm not impressed. Because of the good reviews I bought this lens in good shape. I have tested it indoors open and at f8 and compared it to the other lenses. While sharpness was good in the middle it was a lot worse off-center. I was positively surprised by the Minolta 35-200 xi in this shoot-out concerning colors and sharpness. I have sold the 28-135 again. |
