David obviously got a great bargain! My own testing of the lens may not
have been as thorough as yours, and since it was on loan to me rather than
my own property I didn't have an incentive to make sure I got the most for
my money. Others on other forums have written that it ought to be stopped
down for optimum sharpness, particularly outside the central area.
While I strive to provide only accurate information in the review web
pages, the review may be worth what you paid for it ;-) and your own
experience may be a better guide.
Hi Doug!
Yep! Free advice is, indeed, worth what we pay for it! ;-) Seriously,
Doug, you do a fine job with your lens/body reviews and I know that I,
amongst Hundreds, no thousands, find them very helpful. Please, don't ever
give it up!
As for the 21/4 SA, I rarely stop it down below f5.6 and I am delighted
with it's performance. Freedom from flare and distortion seem to be
hallmarks of this lens. And the colour rendition matches the other
Leitz/Leica lenses as well.
Colour me very happy with my purchase! :)
David.
PS: Nice results you're getting from Sal D's Canon 400/f2.8! Keep up the
good work!
