Subject: New Lens, Same Story?
Then I took it out for a quick test -- usual subject, a mud-brick wall shot on a tripod. Result: the lens is softer than the damaged F* 300 f4.5 that I just returned. I am baffled how this could be. Except for just a little typical dust, the optics look fine. The F version that I just returned had the rear element covered in spots of something.
