Well, I am happy with what I see, but I don't have much confidence in making critiques of photos. Outside of the SMCP-FA 50mm 1:1.4 and the SMCP-FA 100mm 1:2.8 Macro, I have little experience with decent lenses. I did own the cheap(ies) 28-80 and the 100-300, but quickly realized that they were not that good, and even then I was swayed by what I read on them.
I picked up the lens dirt cheap. They gave me a written estimate that was wrong. They were selling it at about $570, but quoted me $350, then they screwed up huge and gave me $110 for my 28-80, needless to say, I don't do any more business there (some may think I should, b/c of the pricing, but they are a terrible store and I know my shop's employees, the best in London, ON, on a first name basis, which is also nice. Anyhow, ya, I'm trying to justify getting the 24-90mm or the 20-35mm, both I want really badly :) So I dunno, I'm tired and I am forgeting things.
