Comments:

This Lens has been a true eye opener for me really.

This lens is a keeper for sure especially the Zebra version, very nicely built, great optics, smooth focusing, nice apeture ring, cannot complain about it, even wide open the lens is usuable and stopped down this lens really can bring some character into perspective.
