Wow. This lens is insanely sharp. I just got mine in the mail yesterday and haven't really had time to seriously play with it, but from what I've seen so far this might be the sharpest lens in my bag.

Wow is an understatement. Talk about a blast from the past.

I bought this lens in 1993. I bought it to shoot product development. Take a look at the grooves at the front of the lens, that was where I attached a ring flash. You don't use a hood on this lens (look at how far back the glass is).
I also used this lens for copy work.

Of all the lens I've owned, I made more money using this lens than all of the others combined.

uh huh....i want that sr60 for xmas.

i might just get one next year when i dont want my px100s anymore.

I prefer Senn's but they require an amp to really make them sing. Nice taste in lenses and cans LM.

A couple of shots wide open. Too bad I traded it for a 300/f4
