Perhaps not the sharpest zoom , but I believe it's color output is exceptional.

1. great bokeh
2. nice colors
3. I feel 3D

Very good results for a zoom lens, more impresive than results off some primes Smile

I feel the same , more impressive than many primes. Kiron made excellent job.
Colors are pretty much Zeiss.

Ahha.....I thought it was just my copy of the same lens that was a little soft. I find this lens quite difficult to use. But the color is as Attila said, exceptional. Perhaps because this was made by Kiron.

Yes, Kiron zoom has beautiful colors indeed. I also found not easy to handle well this is my second copy from this lens and I have more experience now I like lot more better than at first time.
