Well the Venus (Laowa) 60mm 2.8 macro lens (2:1) came. I'm very impressed with the packaging. It comes with a nice protective pouch, but the very nice thing was that it came in a vacuum packed wrapper around the lens, assuring that no dust would get in at any time. It also came with a clear front filter, a nice touch. The lens feels very solid and well built. No rattling and its nice and hefty too. The focus feels smooth and just the right amount of resistance.
Tried a few pics with it and its extremely sharp. I am going to post some pics here but so far it is an amazing lens for the price. The stop-down metering does not bother me. I suppose it could get a little problematic in situations where the subject is dynamic, like a bug or something. -- -- Reduce your Government Footprint -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
