This has to be one of the most incredible lenses ever designed.
Sample image....
Great DOF, sharp images right out to the corners, and zero distortion. It comes with it's own viewfinder with built in spirit level in the finder.
PROS
Well... see above really.
CONS
It has a fixed aperture of F8.
It also comes with a centre grad filter to combat light fall off at the corners of the image which reduces the effective aperture to F16. Many users say it's unnecessary.
TTL metering is disabled when the lens is mounted on the G2 and metering is done via a metering sensor on the front of the camera body provided just for this lens. A separate meter is obviously another option.
Price!
Has anyone any experience of this lens, not neceassarily on a Contax?
Sensible thoughts/opinions would be appreciated.
