Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)After reading the reviews on this lens and considering the price It was a "no brainer" to make this purchase. For amateur photographer this precision instrument seemed like a bargain.
Unfortunatley even with my K20D's green light for focusing manual lenses the sharpness when stopped down to 1.4 could be fooled a little. This resulted in a slight out of focus subject. You can order a split screen focusing screen "after market" to help remedy the situation. Or you can practice focusing this great lens and get it right most of the time. I guess its up to you and how much effort you want to put into knowing your equipment. You can also increase your depth of field a little if the lighting situation will let you. This seems to help my camera in focus light get it spot on every time.
My copy could have a little focusing problem, but I believe its my inexperience with such a fine instrument. That is why I have given this a four out of five stars. Be prepared to pratice a lot to get the best result right every time!
As with all my Amazon. com's purchases this one went smooth and fast.
