Lot of work, one conclusion: piece of crap. f/2.8 is way too soft. Corners are only usable at f/16 and f/22. On a crop sensor. Ouch.

It's not that much of a dissapointment, though, because I got 5 Euros discount because its diaphragm was broken. So instead of 35 Euro I paid 30 Euro for a Cosina body + 28mm + 50mm + 135mm + 80-200mm + 500mm + shoulderpod Smile. So, basically, the lens cost me -5 Euro Smile
