If only Nikkor could design a f5.6 version with the same exterior dimensions.

Summary:
This lens gives you great performance in a smaller package than the 5.6 versions. The price is also less. Great field lens, a bit dull for focusing indoors. For colour work will give warmer results than Schnieder or Rodenstock.

Strengths:
Small size, large image circle, 8 element design - good correction for distortion.

Weaknesses:
Warmer colour balance than Schnieder or Rodenstock, and probably Fujinon.

Highly recommended.

Strengths:
Smaller than the 90mm f5.6 lenses, but with the same image circle. Lower in price than the faster lenses as well. Very sharp lens with conservatively rated image circle- plenty of coverage for movements.

Weaknesses:
darker image than a 5.6 lens- not a problem outdoors, workable inside.

Customer Service:
No experience.
