from used eBAY Summary: This lens performs well. It's a tad slow at F5.6, so focusing has to be done carefully and shutter speeds will be also slow for hand holding, so be prepared to use a monopod with this setup. The ULD version of this lens can be pricey, but if you make a living with cameras, eventually you need to invest in the ULD. It's about 10-20% sharper than the non-ULD lens and the contrast is better. Strengths: A very desirable focal length for modeling and sports. If you use it with the Mamiya 2X, with 400ASA film on a bright day, it's just tolerable to use and will produce some nice compressed images with blurred backgrounds. Weaknesses: Big difference b/w the regular version and the ULD version both image-wise and cost-wise. Similar Products Used: 55-110mm zoom, 105-210mm ULD zoom, 150mm f2.8 Customer Service: Never any problems. Repairs and adjustments handled professionally with quick turnaround.
