Kai,

I've used the 24 wide open a fair amount and, as reported in this forum
before, have no complaints at all. Optically, mechanically, it's a 10.
Maybe Erwin will chime in, but I've done 16x20 enlargements from negs sho=
t
at 2.8 at 1/30 and get crisp shots. Biggest problems are holding the came=
ra
still (which grossly affects results, as you know) and depth of field
which, even with a 24, is limited wide-open. My biggest problem with the =
24
is the finder (which is a pain) and the competition the 24 has with my 35=

1.4  ASPH.
