Bought used from KEH - condition better than advertised. I was surprised how easily the focus and zoom rings turn (not sloppy at all, just very little effort required)
I've used this lens handheld and tripod mounted. As others have mentioned, it's a bit heavy and you will need to use good technique for handheld. I've taken shots at f8 that have surprised me with the amount of detail captured.
Shots taken below f8 while ok aren't nearly as good and the purple fringing at f2.8 is noticeable - for post processing, I use paintshop pro X4 and it's been unable to entirely remove all of the purple fringing.
From the shots I've taken to date, I have not noticed any distortion (barrel or pincushion).
Overall I've rated it a conditional 8; With good light it performs superbly. I would definitely recommend this lens. |
