I think there may have been a bit of camera shake in the dog photo. I kept having to call his name to get him to look at me, and his attention span isn't very long. So, I had to rush the shot a bit, which probably contributed to the softness. Thanks for the kind words! -- Walt On

Thanks for the info, Adam. It seems to be really well-built compared to some others I've used and handled. Plenty of resistance in the lens barrel, and a very smooth, crisp responsiveness. I'm pretty pleased with it, construction-wise. And, giving up a stop, and the last 50mm doesn't
