How would you overall characterize the performance?

Low contrast but sharp, with little distortion and mechanically very solid?

 

[Erik van Straten]

Matt, very nice lens, I love the shots, above all the portrait of your godson.

Is that coma: thne oval rendering instead of circular? No big deal.
MOre important is keeping contrast in the low lights.

No, small round spots (in the corners of the image) are rendered like a comet.

It does not bother me the least.

As long as there is no barrel or pincushion distortion i am happy.

I totally agree with you.

I got this lens as a replacement for my old DR cron that was burgled from me. I really enjoy this lens, but i wish mine was black.
