I will miss this one and probably buy it again someday, so tiny and light, very sharp in the center wide open with a lovely bokeh. This one was sent back and calibrated for wide open performance by Mr Miyazaki (and now is) $1175 inc. conus shipping and fees.

Last night at F8, I hadn't used it at infinity, much better than I anticipated.


Don't make fun of my phones white balance, probably would be better without the white background...



That's reflection on the rim of the hood...
