P�l, The problem with these people who put down a lens like this, is that if it isn't tack sharp wide open they can't find a reason to like it... People spend too much time comparing F stops. Obviously the F4 on a 50mm and the F4 on a 300mm are two completely different things in terms of light transmission... The 43 may be a touch soft wide-open, but it has other qualities that allow it to shine, not to mention that it is tack sharp stopped down. My honest opinion is that people who put down a lens like this have opinions that aren't worth trusting....

It is the sharpest lens I've ever used something that deserves quite a lot of hype in my opinion. P�l
