This lens was tested in a swedish photo-mag in the early 80's. It got VERY
good reviews. A quote: "This lens delivers absolutely top-class images". To
say that the magazine were impressed is a mild understatement. Only
drawbacks mentioned was the close-focus distance of 2.4 meters and the slow
speed.
