Review 2 of 2

Price Paid: $599.00 from midwest photo - used

Summary:

A great buy for the size/weight conscious crowd, or anyone really. Tack sharp all the way across.

Strengths:

Incredibly sharp, very small and light. A great deal for shooters who need a light small package for backpacking. Also a great length for portraits on 4x5.

Weaknesses:

Slow minimum aperture, which I don't really find limiting, since the lens is so long there is almost no light falloff. It's easier to focus than my 90mm super angulon f/8.
