The 15 aperture blades are legendary.
The focusing barrel turns end to end smooth and steady.
The aperture ring lifts and turns just as it should.
The 15 aperture blades are dry, clean and snappy.
The lens is incredibly sharp at f4 and I don't think I need to mention about the bokeh! Hehe
The first photo was shot at f4 and shows you the bokeh balls (traffic lights)The second shot at f8 was my next door neighbours tree
The third shot at f16 was of the house across the road. Just look at the sharpness, even when handheld and ISO pumped up a bit.
All shots performed handheld on my Fuji Xpro1 with standard M42 adapter which makes the above 200mm telephoto lens, nearer to a 300mm equivalent!
The lens come with a rear lens cap and a front lens cap.
