| negative: | - none I've observed. - for the price, really nothing |
| comment: | I bought one in excellent condition. As opposed to some concerns on F1.7, my copy is already very sharp wide open. Stop down only makes it phenomenon. I briefly owned its F1.4 sibling and honestly I didn't see much differences in IQ that would warrant the 3x price. Build quality is excellent. I mostly use KM 28-75 f2.8 for the past ten plus years and thought it's a good lens until I tried this little guy. Now I'm a fan of good prime. |
