Anyone? From what I can gather this lens produces a very smooth bokeh, but it is very soft at f2.8.

Thanks.

It's an interesting focal length for sure, esp. on an APS crop!

Never heard of it, I think if a maker made constants fast zoom lens, that is can't be soft even at wide open. Why ? Constants fast zoom lens was top of the line in old zoom technology I saw only good ones from them even at wide open.

Hi Attila,

It does not seem to be a bad lens:

Should perfectly ok, but who need a 60-120 zoom ? For me definitely not , so many cheap and excellent normal lens available. I can't imagine myself to take portraits with a zoom Laughing Laughing no way. If I have no money for $$$ portrait lens Jupiter-9 is there on very reasonable money and I just love this lens. Plenty of cheap and excellent 135mm lenses also out there.

60-120 for me would make a decent lens for modelling photography. I find myself using 50mm-200mm lenses for this and often zooms so I don't have to play lens tennis.
