The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:Construction, fast and accurate AF, useful travel, optical quality, PRICE on used
Cons:Heavy
Opinion:The best buy I never expected to meet. Purchased for less than $ 200 on ebay, it is one of the best lenses that have ever passed through my hands, it seems absurd thinking about what I spent on Canon. It has an important weight but balances very well with the body. The quality at closed apertures is top on a sensor like that of the 645z, despite being a legacy lens of the film system. I have to do some tests in my own way, but it seems that it does not lose focus zooming, the confirmation is instantaneous at the time of pressing the button. So if it's not parfocal, it's very close to us.
Pros:Very versatile focal length, very useful for set/portrait landscape.
Cons:Considerable weight (but quite balanced compared to body-machine)
Opinion:Very valid objective, free of major defects despite having been designed for some years already. The construction is very solid (exceeds the kilo of weight, for 130mm of closed length), really professional for heavy use. The brightness is not great (f4.5) but if they had increased it the lens would have become a boulder... Excellent yield at 80mm (on Pentax 645D) diaphragm to f8; at 160mm made overall very good but you have to have your hand still or use reasonably fast times.
