I had to buy this lens as it is like new and i was told that they were not very good. I paid $146 for this lens and i am glad i did. These were taken in bright sunlight , they have more detail than i expected and the colour is good.  |

The photos were taken 1.5 hrs drive from where i live so i can only show another from that area at f16. I have one other taken at f2.8 at home, none as yet at f64,as i have only had the lens for a day. I hope take more tomorrow and post them. 
The lemons were at f2.8 , the boat houses at f16 |

I'm glad you're enjoying it, although the price seems pretty steep!
Could you please provide some crops at 100% of the corners and centre?

Very competent lens. Could be a very good example of the kind, but you will want to show us more including min focus distance and background bokeh/bouquet?
A pic of this lens might impress too?
Who advised you? They seem to be protective of your interests?
For me the, fun is to pick up ratty, cheap lenses that perform well. For some collectors, everything must be pristine and they will pay over the odds for mint.
