Attractive on paper. Less so in the lab. And the field.



Just for the record: went through two units, first one was heavily decentered, second one was good (regarding centering).

What were they thinking? They know what a good lens looks like (11-16/2.8 DX, 12-24/4 DX, 100/2.8 Macro). All they'll do is damage brand reputation...
