Review : I don't think it's fair to rate this lens based on one person's judgement of their availability, so I will put in my comments on the actual lens... This is a contrasty, sharp and non-too-bulky lens that is capable of giving extremely nice photos. It is slightly softer at the 200mm end, but having 2.8 all the way through is nice. The build is excellent, although manual focus can be tricky because of the small angle of turn required. On the negatives, I think my lens has a slight rear-focusing issue now, because it seems to consistently focus very slightly behind whatever I focused on, but I believe this can be fixed easily with calibration.
