Well, the results I get from my Pentax Zoom90WR show no
sign of the "Hoover Effect"; and the slides, especially,
seem extremely good w/ little loss of quality against my
m42 SuperTaks, etc. Relevant may be that I tend not to
use it for distant scenics & such, but rather closer-in
subjects. This keeps assorted potential optical aberations
from showing up, such as horizon bending and various edge
distortions. Sharpness, color rendition & such seem quite
satisfactory. Metering seems "tuned" to slide film as opposed
to print/neg, where I'd like to kick it 1/3rd stop if I could.
Of course, this fine device has been discontinued <ponder>
