On the other hand, I\'m a big fan of the C/Y 21/2.8 and I still find the SP 17/3.5 to be a very solid performer, particularly when it comes to colour and contrast. These are two of its strengths, IMO, so I find it odd that you were disappointed in those particular aspects of its performance. I think the shots in this thread (particularly Nate\'s) showcase the colour and contrast well).
Oddly enough, it is the distortion that I find least appealing (waveform). Luckily, I don\'t shoot architecture, so the lens is perfect for me.
Have you used a bright flashlight or laser to check your copy for haze?
