[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I owned and used one on a Viso III quite a while back. My recollection was that it was a very good lens indeed - I had very good results with it. Ditto with the 400/6.8, which was my other Viso tele. (Never really got used to the focusing on the 400/6.8, though.) Perhaps Doug Herr or other users will chime in?
