| comment: | This is a wonderful lens. I like it as much as I dislike the Min 20 RS, and for much the same set of intangible reasons. It always delivers, -- colors, detail, background blur, exposure, contrast. It shows a form of perspective distortion, where noses on close-up faces are overlarge -- but that's inherent in any such lens. I have learned to avoid those kinds of photographs. It is sharp in exactly the way I like, and it is smooth at the same time. The longer I own it, the more I enjoy it. |
