I have a copy, I've always found it to be wonderful. Unfortunately ~150mm FOV when used on Pentax digital cameras. A bit too long for an indoor tele, but not long enough if you really need one, IMHO. Jens wrote: > Hello Guys > Have anyone got good or bad "news" about this lens? > I've been ask

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 o

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. Paul On Aug 7, 2008, at 6:01 PM, Jens wrote: > Thanks, Walt > Perhaps I should buy it myself. I already got the 200mm f4 and a > 2.5 135mm (yummy

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

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... Got rid of mine years ago. But I guess it's better than that? Regards Jens -- Treat others as you would like to be treate
