Review 1 of 2

Summary:
I rate this lens higher than the previous reviewer. Up against the Mamiya 7II rangefinder 65mm lens (and rangefinders have a big advantage with the design of wideangles), the corners are a little soft, but sharp over the rest of the frame. In my opinion, a good lens robustly built.

Like so much GS-1 kit, it represents great value secondhand.

Pity Tamron, Bronica's owners, have not extended the lens range for the GS-1.

Strengths:
Widest lens for GS-1.
well corrected for distortion.

Weaknesses:
See below

Similar Products Used:
Also own a 65mm Mamiya 7II lens

Customer Service:
Not tried.
