grimmwit

I bought this lens after many night searching the web for advice. I was a little unsure, as a lot of sample posts seemed to lack contrast.

My fear was unfounded. I finally got a chance to give the lens a good workout a few days ago - it passed with flying colors (no pun intended)

I have not had any problem with the lens. I have not encountered any internal dust. To date, I am very happy with my purchase.

All these photos (except the golf cart) were taken with this lens:

(Full disclosure: I did add some saturation and sharpening to the photos before posting them. Nothing major)
