Margus,
None of your minuses bother me, particularly the lack of a delimiter -
mine will always be in the macro range (it is a macro lens after all)
and aperture ring (I seem to have completely given up on film despite
having an MX and MZ-S sitting looking at me all the time).
My only question is where did you get it and when can I get mine?
Obviously you can't hear their squeaky little voices pleading "Please,
Please use me."

Very first impressions:
+ it's extremely sharp
+ it's very well built
+ it's surprisingly compact
+ it covers 24x36mm frame (even the box says: Digital& Film)
+ it's weather-proofed
+ the front lens is placed a bit inside the barrel (barrel end acts like a
short hood)
+ manual focusing is smooth and firm
0 nice metal barrel screams for Limited-style front cap
0 the bayonet hood is plastic, not metal
0 49mm filter size (it seems that several quality brands start from 52mm
size nowadays)
- as it's screw-drive-only, the focusing is slow
- there is no focus distance limiter (which makes focusing even slower)
- there is no aperture ring
- inner (extending) barrel is plastic
BR, Margus
