Cons: my sample has strong chromatic aberations, not to eleminate, even stopped down. not really sharp in the corners, perhaps default in fabrication?

Pros: good colours, in the centre sharp, suitable for low light

Summary: acceptable - good sharpness

Cons: Heavy, old noisy focus system, fast but not as canon USM

Pros: It is extremely sharp in all situations. Mine is the Japanese version 3 (screw lens hood and just at-x pro 2,8). Af is good. Not very fast but very accurate. Internal focus, internal zoom, very solid body.

Summary: Very durable lens with excellent performance. I never had a bad picture when it was in use. It is not sufficient wide for digital bodies (1,6x) and normally it is heavier than the camera body. It is still my favourite lens.
