I was so curious about this lousy open aperture performance I even wrote Erwin, and he confirmed my results. It seems that until you get to f3.5 the edge performance of this lens is really crummy. I guess the tradeoff is that it is SO good AFTER 3.5 that most people just don't care. I compared the new asph. and the f2-f2.8 results are MUCH better. I only wished I had waited for the new lens to come out! Best Wishes Dan > > >Hi LUGgers, > >I have done some testing on my 35/2 non-aspheric, which I love for its >lightness and portability.
