Is it possible that this is a sample variation? Have other owners noticed this? One poster on Stan’s lens comment site said it was identical to his K20/4 in respect to color rendition with the skylight filter selected (or maybe the K20/4 is warm too?). At any rate, I don’t think the warm cast

I'd agree that the error is no big deal, if tolerance really meant plus or minus. It doesn't. When was the last time you read a test report that found that a lens gave you more of what you thought you paid for? A 20 mm that measured at 19.4 mm? A 200 mm that gave you 205 mm? An f/2 that was

Can't say for A,… Why would you want to use 1/22 in the first place? I am just curious. I know that f22 sounds like an overkill, (especially with wide angle lenses), but I frequently use every inch of the DOF available to me. I am a botanist, and I like to make environmental portraits of very
