Originally posted by MrApollinax Thanks! Any idea on the quality of the line of lenses in general? I really like the color rendition and sharpness of this lens. Did they make many other lenses?
In general, Image lenses weren't all that well regarded, though they had a few that were OK to good. Mostly, they sold cheap consumer glass, one or two quality steps down from the cheap consumer glass from the first party lens makers.
The 28mm focal length is a very simple design, and it's pretty hard to screw them up, zoom lenses are a different matter. Most of the Image lenses were zooms, and most of them were of very questionable quality. I worked for Astral Photo for several years and got to know their lenses fairly well. They are not a lens I would seek out.
