| comment: | Since I really liked the image quality of their 45mm and 65mm primes, I decided to try this lens. I found this one listed on eBay by an individual. "MADE IN JAPAN" It is a little wider than the Tamron 35mm F2.8 which was the widest 35mm I've had so far, but it is not that close to the Pentax 30mm F2.8. It is pretty similar to the Samyang 35mm F1.8 with a bit more lateral CA and corner shading. The rendering is not as good as the 45mm and 65mm primes. But overall a decent 35mm lens. |
