où l'on peut voir que le contraste n'a rien à voir avec la qualité annoncée !
et qu'il n'est pas plus champ plat (flat field) que n'importe quel autre objectif (ce qui était connu)
Résultat: Lourd / Peu lumineux / Cher
= Son insuccès était plutôt mérité
Beau projet mais résultat mitigé
et le brevet (opcon)

Super ! Thx for sharing !
I missed one for 50 EUR. A miserable seller refused to respect his word, and gave it on sale again to earn the same amount.
At this price it was a good deal.

Yes , great one , but very heavy , big lens, you didn't lost much. I had two of them I sold both as a zoom lens too big bulky to carry around. As a macro lens ... any lens do same job with an extension ring.

I owned one in Nikon mount briefly. Before I even had a chance to use it, a friend offered me so much money for it, I gave in and sold it. After looking at the Modern tests, I wonder what the big deal is. Yes, it was sharp in macro modes for its time, but I think its time has passed.
Its reputation remains undiminished, however, judging by the prices it sells for on eBay.

Well...Yes and no. if you need a maximum magnification at a great camera-to-subject distance it's an invaluable alternative to a 200mm macro.
As is the Tamron 52A which is still sold at a great price ;
This is (again) the great link about it

We cans see that the constrast has no relation with the supposed quality
and that the lens is no more flat field that any other lens (that was alerady known)
RESULT : Heavy/Small opening/Expensive =It's failure on market was logical
Nice projetc but so/so result
And the patent (opcon)

Thanks guys for looking.
There're lots of different opinions about this lens, even in this thread.
I have not used the lens a lot yet, but the first experience is very positive. What I like is the flexibility of changing field of view at close distance, especially out in the field. I did use a monopod. Because the focal length is quite long for a macro, the hit rate would be lower if it's hand-held only. With a tripod, it would be even better. The tripod collar that comes with the lens is very helpful.
