| comment: | I have bought two off those one attached to a camera and both where broken the same way when they arrived.The front lens group with barrel was loose.I managed to simply press it back on one of the lenses and wow what a sharp lens it is, I haven't compared them side by side yet so I may have to rewrite this review later on.But right now I think that this lens is sharper than the listed ones att 35mm and 50mm booth wide open and stopped down,it's weaker att 70mm It's a shame that they putted so nice optics in so crappy body,,,,, Edited..... Now I have tried 5 samples of this lens and contrary to the review above the two samples with distance window are sharper than the three other samples I have. |
