from Man Sing Summary: I must say this lens *was* really hard to handle.
It''s sharp, it''s small and light weight as a 90 F2.8, the outcoming color is good, and the out-focus area looks sweet while the in-focus area looks popping out, it is a very nice lens, but that''s what after you can handle its focusing mechanism.
Honestly speaking, I owned it for more than half a year, up to now I still cannot say I can handle the AF very well. Now I don''t have much difficulty focusing a person (she''d be within the sharp range, but I cannot make a crystal sharp right at the eye), but I really cannot handle tele-macro flowers! I think 7 macro flowers out of 10 will turn out to be failed works in my memo bin (I like using failed pictures as memos at home and even at work!)
Anyway, so the final conclusion is you will need to have more practice before you can really love this lens. If you fail to master it, you will not like it.
I rated it at 4 stars only because of the difficulty in focusing, the optical peroformance will be absolutely a 5 star one. Strengths: Sharp, good color rendering, can handle poirtrait but will take your time Weaknesses: don''t expect to shoot macro flowers, I have tried too many times already Similar Products Used: Nikon 85 F1.8D, initially I thought this Nikon was sharp and was one of the best on earth, but after using this Contax, I found the quality of the Nikon one to be a very normal one ^_^ Customer Service: None needed
