| price paid: | 359 USD (new) |
| positive: | Size and weight Sharp wide-open Very low distortion Focus speed and accuracy Seals |
| negative: | Vignetting (less than the F2.8 primes) Axial and Lateral CA Some coma in corners |
| comment: | I had been waiting for months for this lens to become "available soon" as it continued to be promised. I ordered it direct from buyrokinon.com with another Lens Station thrown in for free. "MADE IN KOREA" Initial testing is very good--comparable to the large Tamron SP 35mm F1.8 with somewhat more vignette. It is sharper at F2.8 than their little 35mm F2.8. AF-S accuracy is good. |
