I've been wanting to take some proper shots with this lens for some time now. I posted some desk-top shots but they dont do this lens justice.
Here are some fairly decent samples from the yard.
5.6 @250

This lens is fairly sharp and IMO holds it's own with the Tak.

Yes, the lens appears to be fairly sharp on my crop camera, I havent noticed much CA either, a bit, but nothing serious.
I wonder how it would perorm on a FF camera. 
I love this lens on my ST801 ! It's really quite a stunner on my film cameras.

Well deserves its rep. The fujinons seem to collect a lot of money when sold on the bay.

Yes, sometimes they sell high. I also noticed that certain EBC glass can be hard to find.
This is my second copy of the 135mm. My first one took a hard fall and an element came loose. I found this copy for 40.00 USD plus shipping.
Quite a good deal considering I paid about 100.00 USD for my first copy.

Nice ones! I like the EBC 55/1.8, is the whole lens range the same quality?

3.5 is pretty good, 5.6 and up is very decent.
