Strength:
Heavy lens with superior optical qualities
Weakness:
Not AF, but if it was I probably would not be able to afford it. I bought this lens for a song because they did not have a fixed price on it and were changing their store around, and just did not really care about it - strange. But what was I worried about - I jumped at the opportunity to own one. I have taking it all the way to Tahiti and back on an old FA. The pictures that came out of this piece of optical magnificence are just the best. I was amazed and impressed. I use it now for the image quality and wide angle more than my 20mm AFD, which I also think is a wonderful lens. Customer Service none needed Similar Products Used: 24mm 2.8 non ai (an equally wonderful lens) |

Casual
Strength:
Small, compact size, well built lens constriction. F 2 aperature give bright viewfinder observation. Very good sharpness, good control of vignetting, but distortion found nearby edges and flare control is average only.
Weakness:
Distortion found nearby edges and flare control is average only. But it only cost HK$3500, has over 10 years design and use 52mm filter. As far as I know, it should be the most compact 24mm F2 lens among all other brands similar lenses. It gives wider perspective and also produce the same or may be even better image quality than ais 28/2. Customer Service Nil Similar Products Used: Pentax FA 24mm F2, R 24mm F2.8, Ais 28mm F2. |

Strength:
Lots of light
Weakness:
Price......mine is a second hand This is a very sharp 24mm. The pictures it produces has that hard to define quality known as "clarity". It gives a very light viewfinder image. Build quality is magnificent,very, very sturdy mechanics.. Customer Service never needed Similar Products Used: 20/3.5 35/2.0 |
