It was unable to focus correctly past 15 ft. I tested 2 of the lenses on 4 different bodies and none of the combinations worked consistently. Truly a shame as it was a really nice lens when it was sharp. Leo Wesson www.leowesson.com On Jul 1, 2013, at 4:22 AM, Jayanand Govindaraj <jayanand at gmail.com> wrote: > Howard, > Thanks.
