Pancho, I picked one up recently on eBay and I quite like it.
Here's a sample low-res pic taken with this lens. INFO: MZ-S, 540FGZ flash (bounced 90 degrees with catchlight panel) not sure what focal length maybe 40-50mm, probably f5.6 or 8, Kodak HD400 consumer film. http://www.members.aol.com/bmacrae/family.jpg I think it's quite sharp, at least in the middle f-range. Nice and contrasty. Good for color (have not used it for any b/w work yet). Build quality is pretty good but not a home run. Lightweight. Autofocus is a tad noisy but not terribly so. Hope this helps. -Brendan --- Pancho Hasselbach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi gang, > > any comments available concerning the > above-mentioned lens? > > I'm especially interested in sharpness, contrast, > color rendition and > bokeh wide open.
