| positive: | Fixed length Smooth manual focus Little axial aberration Semi flat field Close focusing |
| negative: | Weight Low contrast/softness Pincushion distortion Zen coating |
| comment: | A fairly beat-up copy with original hard case. It came with scratches that were not in the pictures with the listing, so I am requesting a return. "MADE IN JAPAN" I don't see much reason to use this over the sharper, slower, lighter zooms. |
