Originally posted by pentkon52 Finally had a chance to test the lens on Monday. From F5.6 up its fine, sharp, good colour.F rom F4 to F2.8 its garbage.
Front focuses, bad colour and contrast, soft.
I'm under the 13 day return period so i should be ok.

Dave, sorry to hear about your bumout. However, I'd like to echo others in saying that my copy is simply wonderful. And it's a pretty good close focuser. Either you got a bad copy, or more likely imho, it got banged up a bit in transit. MY copy works great and I've been very pleased with it. You've seen some pretty good low light samples so I thought I'd show you the close up side of things. DS, f4.5 @ 1/750
