17mm adaptall - really good optically, very sharp, great resolution especially from infinity ( im new to this but detail in the background is really good and clear) it almost picks this up better tjhan the foreground detail. Colours are a little subdued and it lacks some contrast. Focusing is good and it is very well made.
24-90mm- quite good, very sharp and more saturated than the tamron still not as contasty or sharp as the vivitar 35-85mm it replaced but at least i can use it into the sun. Resolution better in the foreground than the tamron but less in the background. 43mm limted- excellent makes the other two look ordinary gives pictures a real 3D effect. picks up details better than the tamron even in the background. Sharp at f4 onwards. 77mm limited- booooooooooooooooooom wow just stunning even in a couple of under exposed foregrounds (by at least 3 stops) it still brought up foreground details. Again the 3D affect is present 80-200mm Tamron with 1.7x autofocus convertor (136-340mm f4.5) still very sharp almost to the standard of my FA 300mm 4.5 but better resolution it really captures the detail (bokeh is not the best) and the zoom makes it very convient, it is heavier but just as sharp even wide open will try to get the picts up in the next few weeks but i have already sold a couple of the 17mm pics ( admittedly i used Frank mirandas digital velvia photoshop action to boost the colour) i am happy
