Hi,
I have one question about this lens, the first version (ATX
2.6-2.8/28-70, not the later 2.8/28-70 or the last more plasticky
2.8/28-70 ATX SV). I have borrowed it for a while from a friend,
and after shooting some with it, it seems this sample is very best
corrected for close focus, like portrait distances of 1 or 2
meters. There it is exceptional even wide open, I was quite
surprised. Farther away the performance drops, with some coma and
some softness. It's not bad even there, but just needs more stops
down. I was curious about this happening, and wanted to ask if
others who used this lens (mind you, just the first version,
2.6-2.8, rumoured to be designed by Angieneux), have similar
experience or not?
Thanks
Good light!
