i do believe i didn't waste my money. only thing i don't like about it is it's length when shooting at 1:1 .

Mesquite, TX | it's giving me some fantastic results. used as just a 105 it's very sharp at f2.5.. and it appears brand new..

| If you can't find one keep an eye out for the Vivitar 135mm f/2.8 CF lens. It only does 1:2, but the image quality is insane!! It is a sleeper just like my Vivitar 35mm f/3.5 lens (actually made by Ashai).

| If you find one and want to know drop me an IM and I can help you out. I use my M42 mount lenses via and adapter on my Canon 20D more then I sue my brand new lenses, lol. That Vivitar 35mm f/3.5 is easily as sharp and contrasty as lenses costing 5-10x as much. See my one post in this thread »[No Edit] Images from the Small 2006 PA M&G to see an example.
