Focus shift on the v1 (non-FLE) asph seems to have been in some lenses and
not others, if you did not have focus shift then no issues if you did then
think about changing. The FLE should give better close ranger work but never
seen empirical evidence about that ;-)

Never mind the name game - does any lugger have this lens and show that it
is better than the V1 ASPH? The FLoatingElementGroup supposes to help with
focus shift - not that I notice any with my V1 - but well, what do real
shooters say?
