Despite the very limited information available on this piece of glass, I bought it from ebay for 64 euros, solely based on my experience with Sigma 24 Super Wide II Macro, a lens of the same era. The lens fulfilled all my expectations. Build quality is stunning, definitely made in japan! Few minor drawbacks are:<br />1. Rubber may detach from focus ring when cleaning with alcohol solution. This happened with the 24 lens. I had just put it back in place and is fine for a year now.<br />2. markings on lens deteriorate with alcohol cleaner, beware...<br />3. 1:1 is achievable at 2-3 cms working distance and field of depth is very limited. Of course, both these in 3. are expected from any lens in this range.<br /><br />Highly recommended.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747577768538431377.post-1186101907043253102009-03-28T01:02:00.000+08:002009-03-28T01:02:00.000+08:00Cool images.
