Klaus,
Thanks for an excellent test report. I love my 75mm, f/1.8, but when I look through the front of the lens I see a single speck of light. It is tiny and I do not see it in any of my photos. Looking through with the camera upright (as if I were taking a photo of my eyes) it appears a little off center at about 9 o'clock. The brighter the light that shines into the lens the brighter it gets. I thiink it could be a flaw in the coating. I looks almost like a star when bright light is on it.
I am very pleased with the sharpness, contrast etc. of the lens and hate to go through the bother of returning it to B&H and also paying the cost of shipping/insurance. I am even more concerned that I will get a new copy that might not have a 'flaw', but that does not match the image quality of the lens I returned. I am willing to live with a reduction in value of my lens if I trade it in in the future. I do not think that is likely. Do you think I am 'crasy' if I keep this lens rather than excjanging it? Thanks.
Frank
Thanks.
