Not that I would see microcontrast if it hit me in the face. :ROTFL:
I'll agree I hate what Sony did to most of the lens bodies. Not that I think they feel bad...I'm not that picky. It's just that they LOOK bad. I'M THAT PICKY! :thumbup:
The only Sony lens I own is the 35G. It has a nicer mottled finish metal body. I have Minolta lenses in all the other variants, including the 100mm macro, 100mm soft focus, and 100mm f/2.
I would be interested to see how you pro cats would rate the 100/2. It's amazing wide open, on film or digital. But I may just be rating it on bokeh ...and macrocontrast.

I hear you. That's just it, though...it's not a CZ. I guess if one is coming new to Sony, expecting CZ across the board, it would stand to reason you'd want more CZ glass.Greg,
The lens is fine in terms of resolution and sharpness. But I guess we Zeiss users have come to expect certain characteristics that are lacking in the 100 macro, not only build quality but also micro-contrast and colors.
