Posts: 458 | I'm still waiting for a replacement copy... the first one had a serious backfocus issue. Hopefully SOON i will be able to hold one again and be amazed by the quality. At the moment I am just sour on it.  You'd think LTDs had a high quality control. mike |

And if you have a both a bit off in the same direction... blur city. I hope yours definately was the lens, and that the new one is spot on. Because when they are on... they are really special little lenses. |
