Price Paid:  $370.00 from eBay

Summary:
Big and Beautifull, High quality and well constructed with excellent lens coatings.
Metal built with a very accurate and reliable shutter mechanism. Smooth focusing and precise in use. It's a pleasure to use and a lens I will keep.

Strengths:
Images are very sharp up to 20 x 16 inches at least, great colour saturation and contrast. This is the widest rectilinear wide ange lens that Bronica has made, I have not seen any kind of distortion produced by this lens.

Weaknesses:
Two points here, The resolution produced in the extreme corners is distinctly soft, this is only a problem if you print the full frame, If you print the area of the negative that corresponds th the 6 x 4.5 format (the vertical and horozontal lines in the fiewfinder) these corners will be avoided, in that case the resolution of the resulting print is superb all over the image.
The second point is there is no lens hood available.

Similar Products Used:
50mm Zenzanon PS.

Customer Service:
None required so far.
