Re: Re: M 2.8 100mm
Thanks, Walt Perhaps I should buy it myself. I already got the 200mm f4 and a 2.5 135mm (yummy)... I thought perhaps it was like the 2.0 85mm - not sharp below f.5.6 og 8...

Re: M 2.8 100mm
I have one. Haven't used it since going digital, so I can't really tell you how it performs with a chip. With film, however, it was my favourite lens for a long time. It is not very sharp at f/2.8, but improves very nicely when stopped down to f/4. At least if my sample was anything to go by. It is also a quite small lens, discreet, if you like. I have no idea what it would fetch in an auction, though. Iirc, I bought mine for NOK 900 in a local shop some 12 years ago. That would be about USD 180 by today's exchange rate.

Re: M 2.8 100mm
It's a good lens. Not a great lens, but a good lens. Wide open it's soft, as you might expect. At f4, it's useable, and it gets better from there.

Re: Re: M 2.8 100mm
Thanks, Jostein. I'm glad it's good.It's rather expensive. I've thought it would sell for perhaps 75-100 USD. I had never heard of this lens before, when the guy asked me. I thought it was an f4 100mm macro lens. Anyway, I'll announce it on the list before submitting it to ebay along with some other stuff - like a F 70-200mm and a AF500 FTZ flash and a MZ5n body. -- Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself.

Re: M 2.8 100mm
Carrying this to the (il)logical extreme ... If you leave the lenscap on it produces results indistinguishable from those take with lenses that are far more expensive.
