---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - That particular lens is excellent. The Pro version has the better (improved) anti reflective coating. The AF is not fast but adequate. At $370 it is an absolute steal. The lens is as well built as one can ask for, all brass and solid. If nothing else you can surely resell it if you do not like it for at least what you are paying for it. While other lenses may test better wide open this lens does as well at the mid apertures. The optical design renders subjects with a sort of "roundness" reminiscent of the older German lenses (just my opinion) making it probably better suited to portraits and people than scenics.
