1728268HiddenPurchased from PF member. (EX+, with tripod mount & SS10-22 case)Marshfield, MA
November, 2017
1728071HiddenCouple of scuff marks on the hood, optically perfect, a 9/10 overall. Sharp, sharp, SHARP, from wide open, and only gets sharper after that. Did I mention it's sharp? Ridiculously HUGE tripod mount, I have the soft case, all original caps, and, btw, this lens is sharp. Contrasty, too, and dynamic colour rendition, but it's MAIN characteristic is that of sharpness, and the fact that it is sharp. If it's NOT sharp for you, you're using it wrong. Try a tripod, and shutter speeds above 1/300th - in other words, learn about photography. Image Stabilization doesn't solve all your problems, especially with a sharp lens like this.Vancouver, Canada

1168206HiddenGenerally in good condition on the exterior and Af works well. Lens suffers from haze and mold in middle elements...visible with a LED light. These look streaked like attempt was made to clean them. Lens takes ok images in shade..contrast is severely lost in sunny bright lit images ... the result is unacceptable. Lens returned to seller after discussion and proof with images providedPurchased online on Ebay from Japan
