I have the version with min. focus distance = 1,6m. IMO it's the same as Raimo said: better than the SMC-M 200/4.0.
Anybody who can tell, how the results on *istD / *istDS are? Best, Bernd -----original message----------- Andy Chang Wed, 22 Dec 2004 16:43:47 -0800 Guys, I've noticed that there are two different versions of this lens from Boz's site. According to Boz, the optical formula is different, focusing distance is different, weight is different and the newer version has a linear aperture-coupled lever which the old one doesn't have. But how about the optical qualities? Are they different too? Stan's site does have a little comment about the lens, but nothing was mentioned about the version used... Anybody has one here? Cheers Andy
