Excellent Article Richard, initiated a GAS impulse, but I can control myself up to now.

I have the Millenium version and must say it's pretty good. Useful for some IR work as well, if one can find 43mm filters (or use clip-in IR bandpass inside the camera).

This is at f/2 with the Z6. I have no complaints :)

Nice sharp but what about the bokeh?
Is it a bit like "double line bokeh"   .....the original has a bit smoother bokeh?
Or what do you think?

Post-processing has a bearing on that issue.

Maybe one day... I can make a side by side comparison of both lenses ::)
I'm just too lazy at the moment, and it can be dangerous to do so here in this country. It is hostile to photographers  :o :o :o
