It's worth mentioning again that this lens is spectacular, but *only at one f-stop*. It's worth gluing the aperture ring so that it can't move from f5.6. (In this I agree with Erwin, btw.) I wondered why I didn't like the lens much, until I discovered its performance at 5.6. (I seem to remember it's almost okay at f4 too, but don't quote me.) Douglas Cooper http://www.dysmedia.com
