Right you are, I just assumed this would be the case given his prior record on the matter of optical performance. > Not that the optical performance of this lens has impressed me in a negative > way. It didn't impress me at all however I was of course comparing it with lenses many times its cost (Pentax/Contax). I came by it in a kit I bought and though it might be a good lens to keep on hand however I tested it and due to its performance I sold it very soon after. It hasn't garnered too many positive reports on the list in the past but I'm glad it's working for you.
