Never worked with a lens whose aperture didn\'t stop down in real time, so live view isn\'t nearly as useful for judging how the aperture setting will impact the photo (always displays wide open view in the EVF). Not really digging the aperture preview function mapped to a function key, but it is what it is.
This is proving to be a most difficult lens to work with for me, as I\'m having a lot of trouble, even on a tripod with IR shutter control, getting what I want sharp and in focus, to be sharp and in focus. Tossed every shot from the first two attempts, and 8 out of 10 shots from the third.
In contrast, most from the 90mm Bokina could be keepers.
I think I\'ll stick it out a while longer, and try to avoid the draw (convenience) of an AF native-mount gem like the FE 90mm 2.8 G.
If I can get half as good as some here are (Ronny Olsson\'s stunning work ultimately inspired me to go after this one), I suppose I\'ll be content. And tips or suggestions are always welcome).
