| positive: | - Well built, sturdy and massive lens; - Extremely comfortable manual focusing; - distorsion free; - relatively fast and accurate AF; |
| negative: | - not sharp enough, a little bit soft mapping; - the cover tube of the manual focusing ring is beeing tightened quite frequently; - heavy weight; - unique (unobtainable) size of built-in filter; |
| comment: | To be honest, I am not too satisfied with the mapping features of this lens. Not bad, not bad, but I cannot tell you that this is a "razor sharp" glass... I purchased it as a second hand lens from e-bay two years ago but I am willing to send it back to KM service for a test and adjustment now. Additionally, I have got just one built-in filter (Skylight - M42) together with the lens, and I am not able to buy more kinds of filters with this diameter in Hungary... |
