| ownership: | I have experience with this lens |
| compared to: | 400 APO (Non-macro) |
| price paid: | 350 USD (s/h) |
| positive: | + Sharp + Close focus ability + Large focus ring + Detachable tripod collar |
| negative: | - Weight, but to be expected - focus in poor light |
| comment: | I bought this used (77mm) example after the earlier APO (72mm) version, and for a time had both so I could compare directly. The earlier version suffered more from CA (although it was never bad) but probably was a touch sharper. Focusing was better with this version. It is best used on a tripod or monopod (that I use) for the best results. What options are there if you don't want a zoom? |
