I took this lens out today ..

Well, colours are simply great ..

distortion -- problem a bit -- especially on f=80, f=200

focusing on f=200 not easy ..

focusing to infinity -- seems to be OK ..

the best focal range is somewhere between 100-160 -- IMHO.

finally, I am so excited !!!!

P.S. message to Orio -- it would be great to use it for his carnival shots ...

Some very nice pictures Trifox - I like especially the chimneys (#23) and also the buildings in #17.
Image clarity is superb, just like with your indoor shots. For 150 Euros you have really made a super bargain with this lens!

Yeah, I agree with Orio about the price of 150 Euro.

This lens is not popular but its IQ is not to be discounted,
It is better than CZJ Vario-Prakticar 80-200/4 at 200mm end.
The both lenses perform quite+very good at 80mm end IMO.
