"Words really cannot describe the overall satisfaction that this fine lens brings to the user. I highly recommend anyone interested in what quite possibly might be a future legendary piece of glass to give this one a try. Is there anything not good about this lens? Nope. Not a thing. As my title says...my new benchmark."
