Review 1 of 2

Price Paid: $2000.00 from Walters Video

Summary:

This is an excellent lens for groups as there is very little distortion near the edges. I do not find the f3.5 aperture restricting. Those photographing interiors etc should look at the 40mm or 35mm alternatives.

Strengths:

Very well built with a smooth action, Gives a high quality image. Colour ballance is excellent.

Weaknesses:

Very large images show a distinct softening of resolving power near the edges of the frame.

Similar Products Used:

50 mm W/A Hasselblad

Customer Service:

None needed to date.

PS 50mm f/3.5

Summary:

If your shooting group shots you'll need this lens, slight distortion. Its good for scenic shots as well. Will produce very pleasing 16x20's.

Strengths:

Good Image quality, sharp from center to corners. Smooth focus, balance and size.

Weaknesses:

f 3.5 is too slow. Not as sharp as the old Nikkor or Zeiss.
