I just looked ... I was afraid I went too far. But no, it's a good
performer.

Funny, when I've used it on the D100 (the digital) it looks terrible.

Mind you ... the 50/2.8 Elmar from the 50'ies is no killer lens. That is
what I was comparing it with. It's visibly better than the Elmar even when
the zoom is used wide-open. If you're really interested I have a couple of
shots from last week. I'll post them later.
