- Low price (used) - Sharp - Lightweight - Standard 72mm filter - Works well with generic screw-on rubber hoods ($5 on eBay)

I can't find a single thing wrong with this lens. Out-of-focus areas are good, but nothing special.

One word: incredible. This is the sharpest lens I've seen, period. Slides show incredible detail under an 8x loupe -- it's just like looking at the real thing. There is no reason to avoid buying this lens.

Other people say this is the sharpest lens and they may be correct, but I just want to say that in my case it is not. It is OK but not as sharp as other professional lenses.

not sharp, mine may have a problem

Outstanding sharpness and contrast. Good bokeh.

None.

This lens is about as good as anything you can put on the front of a MF camera. It's too bad the GS-1 system suffers from bad marketing.

Had Tamron service the shutter (after quite a few years' use). Extremely fast service and good quality, too.

Sharp, light, well built, superb bokeh, good contrast.

None so far.

An excellent, sharp, well made standard lens. Mine is quite old, and was bought s/h with the body.

As a newcomer to the GS-1, and a user also of a Mamiya 7II, whose lenses are renouned for their sharpness, I have not been disappointed by the GS-1 and 100mm lens combo.
