The are a very large number of very good lenses out there, especially if you stick to 28-300 modest aperture lenses frequently found at estate sales. Also, it spreads that your focus was a bit off compared to my four versions of this lens; you know ltm, FL, FD, new FD. With the Sony's I've found you have to use focus magnification to get accurate focus when doing is an issue. I will say that this is a fun activityand only mostly expensive.
