Price Paid:  $250.00 from photo fair

Summary:
This is a beautiful lens, crisp, sharp, not to big to handle easily, and the fast f stop makes it possible to make pictures almost during any wheter. I never use a flash and that is possible with f2.5. For the price this is a great little lens. Ideal for portets.

Strengths:
f stop weight sharpness

Weaknesses:

Summary:
I bought this in the 1970's and just thought I'd gotten lucky. Razor sharp images, it has minimal refractive glare and no spherical or chromatic aberration. I have blown PAN-X 35mm up to 16x20 with no visible distortions (except grain, no fault of the lens), sharp, sharp, sharp. I just wish that I had a 28mm, 50mm, and 200mm as sharp.

Strengths:
Sharp, sharp, sharp, clear and clean.

Weaknesses:

Price Paid:  $179.00 from Westbury, Camera

Summary:
Buy this lens. You won't regret it.

Strengths:
Great bokeh. Small, light, smooth & easy focus. Wonderful glow to people photos, but also serves well for landscape shots. Excellent shot wide open, although f/4 to f/5.6 is outstanding also.
