I rarely shoot wide open as almost all the lenses I own seem to be so much better even stopped down 1/2 stop from wide open.
This lens has impressed me.
These are just test images.
This one *may have* been a f/2.0. Can't recall.
Best $40 I ever spent.
All images shot on a Canon 30D with a lens hood.

40 dollars? That was dirt cheap! The only real flaw in this lens is that the focusing ring turns the wrong way...
The fence with a letter is the best of these, I guess. I like it. |
