Submitted by Simon Coates a Expert from Stokesley, North Yorkshire England, UK

Date Reviewed: July 16, 2000

Strengths:    Optical perfection

Weaknesses:    none

Bottom Line:   
This is the best wide angle lens I have ever used. Optically, it is pin sharp from f/2.8 to f/22; at f/2.8 it is sharper than the Minolta at any aperture. It does not display any distortion or flare, even with strong sunlight directly in front of the lens!
It feels very well balanced on the camera (R6.2).
The adage 'you get what you pay for' has never been truer!
