I made a series of interferometric measurements showing the lens being diffraction limited at all focal lengths, AND with Kanko 1,4x TC. I am astrophotographer and point light sources are any lenses nightmare. This lens performs up to the fullframe corner.
Pros:
  • inredibly sharp at all focal lengths, very good color correction
  • The best lens I ever saw
Cons:
  • a little heavy to carry all day
