Nice Richard
I have read about a fair bit of copy variation with this lens. You seem to have cleared that hurdle as these are beautiful. Truly a nice job with that macro shot. I have tried to do this a couple of times with a 4/17 Tak. Your results are much more natural looking. Congrats! |

Thanks folks.
I'm pleased with it - I was worried it would be too much of an 'occasional gimick' lens, but it works well as a macro (although I could do with an 8mm tube - with 12mm I'm literally millimeters from the subject) and loves big skies. On a crop cam it's possible with careful framing to almost completely lose the distortion as well (not that de-fishing it is difficult).
On the downside it's quite flare prone (unsurprisingly!) and the cap is in danger of being lost very quickly (60-62mm step up ring on urgent order!).
On the whole I'd rate it a 4 out of 5 lens.

Agree with you entirely about the Zenitar and I found I have used it far more than I would have originally thought. That big bulbous glass at the front frightens me too! Do you ever use the filters btw? |

I've not used the filters yet - it only arrived at the weekend. No chance to try it on film yet either.
