I can imagine this length would be useful for some of the outdoor daylight activities I photograph in the summer, where the 5.6 aperture would not be too big a disadvantage (except for viewing brightness, of course.) Does anyone have any experience with this lens? I assume, of course, that it's not up to current Telyt standards for resolution or contrast, but it won't cost like one either, and I have the impression that the Killfit lenses generally were pretty good for their day. OTOH, if this one is known to be a coke bottle lens, I'd appreciate knowing about that. Thanks for any input. Cheers, Kip
