I have a FA 28-70mm f/4.0 AL on the way to me (haven't seen it yet) and it's presumably got some small (I hope) glitch in it's 'macro' feature.
Hmmm - there isn't a macro feature per se on this lens - unlike some zooms that you flip into a special macro mode, the FA 28-70 f4 AL just focuses very close.
I'll be wringing it out as soon as I get it. I'll report back...
There seems to be a lot of sample variation on this particular lens. Some folks have had very negative experiences, other think it is great. My sample is excellent - holds its own vs most primes. Before he was possessed by the Cave spirits, Valentin speculated that the manufacturing process used in this lens accounts for that. Basically, the aspherical element is plastic molded onto a glass element. Inconsistency in the plastic component may account for the variation. I don't know if that's the case but I hope you get a good one.
