Hi all, I finally got my hands on a ZX-L recently, so I went ahead and ran a roll through to test some things - one of which was the coverage of the DA 12-24. I took pictures at each indicated focal length on the barrel and at f/4 and f/8or11 (I don't remember which). I did not remove my b+w wide angle slim clear filter - the effect looks like it would have been marginal anyway. I left the hood off. No tripod:o.
I have not made any even mediocre scans yet - all I have is the crummy noritsu minilab scans from the photo place. But I still thought it would be useful. In about 6weeks or so when I have some time I will make real scans.
Nevertheless, it looks like the lens gives full coverage from 18-24mm, however the corners are very blurry at 18mm & f/4.
click on the pictures to see them larger (as big as the crummy noritsu scan)
