Absent the comparison with the Nikkor, I think you're going to get an
argument with 200/5 owners. I have found the images it yields quite
crisp; indeed, with an almost three-dimensional quality that I've found
is characteristic of really superior quality. We should all enjoy such
"amateur" quality!
