1. Brutal Sharpness. A little fall off towards the edges OK. 2. Vivid Color reproduction - more towards earthy Browns and true Reds. Little or no Bluish cast. 3. Controlled Distortion in both the X and Y planes 4. Good rendering both in the Shadows and Highlights. 5. Low Flare. 6. Hard Coating to fight off dust, dirt, moisture, spots and smudges. Easy to clean with a Lens Cloth and lift out gunk that collects on the front element. Note: I avoid Filters.
I use mostly Zooms so there could be some compromise. I will go on buying the same Zoom Lens if necessary till I find that "Perfect" copy. Regards and a Merry Christmas to all of You.
