JUW Hmmm, didn't know that. What is a good picture to check the lens quality ?

  Personally I would prefer a medium tone, fine shade, high detail
  image. Your iguana in diffuse light would do fine. I learned some
  time ago that saturation and high contrast tend to mask the
  difference between good and lesser glass at moderate enlargement.
  This may be due to the modern design of entry level lenses. It
  favours high contrast (10 lpm curves in MTF charts) but performance
  drops spectacularly at higher resolutions. Better lenses may not
  appear as contrasty but resolve finer shades and keep up with
  higher enlargements.

Hi, Johan.
You're the first one I have heard of buying a lens in the new FAJ-series.
Congratulations. :-)
Feel free to comment to the list when you get some rolls developed.

Cheers,
Jostein

 Needed a zoom for my vacation, and after visiting the shop bought the 
 lens mentioned above. Much zoom for little money. ;-)
 I haven't developed any film yet, has anybody got some experience with 
 this zoom ?
 
 Bye .
