| comment: | This lens has been a challenge to me. I spend a whole evening checking for back focus and came to the conclusion that everythin was OK, but at F1.4 there is not much depth of field ;-). Sometimes I'm not sure where it decides to focus, so I go MF more often with this lens. The shallow depth of field can make you very creative on the other hand. I find it quite soft full open, but at F2 its pretty sharp, I think. All in all, I like it... Update : AF Works perfectly on A700...:-) |
