Quite cheap is a good price for this hunk o'glass. I've got one and have not been too pleased with it.
First, it's soft at the wide ends - from about 90mm - 120mm it's nice. It has a lot of barrel and pincushion distortion once you've moved from the middle focal lengths. Not a good lens at all for architectural shots. A lot of people on this list have said they liked this lens, argued with me about sharpness, and then, later, agreed that it had lots of distortion and suggested that maybe it could be used for portraits. I'd agree with the portrait possibilities. shel Jens Bladt wrote: > Hi Guys > Anyone know this lens. Theres one at ebay - quite cheep, I think. > I can't find a test anywhere.
