I still have it today and I love it for its (IMO) particular "characteristic": This lens delivers distinctly cooler colors and has a much better blue rendition than other K and M lenses (on slide film). Pictures look extremely sharp and render very fine details (stop down the lens a bit), which results in outstanding black and white prints. The disadvantage of this lens is, I think, that color saturation is somewhat lower than that of the other, "warmer" K and M lenses. However, the 30mm delivers much finer color tones. IMO it is a great lens. Alexander __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
