Hello Jay,
This lens is a fine performer. It is useful at full aperture but
improves when stopped down one or two stops.
I've used it on all three visoflexes without and with the extension
tube and always had good results. I also use it on my R3 and even with
the 2X extender it keeps up its performance quit well.
Here in Europe they are quit cheap so for me it is not worth to sell
it or to trade for a 180. It is just too good for the money.
Greetings,
Michiel.
