I found the FA 28-105/3.2-4.5 AL IF a very nice lens. At the 105mm end, wide open, I shot very nice portraits, with a very nice bokeh (in my opinion), only a bit soft. But when I try to shot landscapes a 105mm, even at F8, I find the lens has aberration and low contrast. So I believe that the FA 28-105/3.2-4.5 AL IF performs worst at 105mm at infinity. Maybe because is an internal focus lens.
