Just had to get it out.... and do some very unscientific and quick testshots. No crops, 'cause i'm outside in the mini-pool with the kids!
First ones all wide open, taken on NEX3, straight jpgs from the cam. I wouldn't call this a lemon.... btw, it's the same lens i have for sale in the marketplace.
If you'd like to see more, please be specific, and i will do my best to get some testshots!!
Oh, and one more thing: that is a very fine single malt!
The lens itself:
Examples,
@ f/1.4
@ f/1.4
@ f/2.0
@ f/4.0
@ f/8.0 (focus on the green on the left)
@f/8.0

it's a nice lens to use, it has a very smooth focus, and the aperture clicks in half stops, so you can even get between f/1.4 and f/2.0 for instance, which sometimes just makes the difference!
My Minolta doesn't have that, but the Konica 1.4/57 does, if you've used the half stops you will miss them on another lens imho. _________________ My Flickr photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/chantalrene/
