When focused correctly (not a very easy thing to do, although the focus throw is more than adequate), this lens produces images which contain impressive detail across the frame, but since the contrast is very low, the images do not give an impression of sharpness. This returns somewhat if the in-camera contrast is boosted. Shooting raw is recommended, since more color and resolution can be squeezed out of the files. A hood is *EXTREMELY* recommended, since I think a lot of the contrast loss is due to reflections (but a lot of the coatings on the front element are also gone on my copy, so this might have something to do with it). |
