Well, I'll steal just a bit more of Ken's burgeoning thunder. The 100/2.8
needs a bit of extension to focus anywhere close to the ZD 14-54. In my
test shoots, I was completely racked into the close focus end. I just sort
of scuttled those tests as a result. Besides it will be the first thing
Ken will test when he gets his adapter ... TODAY.
Let me know what you're interested in performance-wise. I've yet to play
with the 21/3.5, 24/2.8, 35/2.8 the standard 50's, the 85/2, or any of the
zooms.
