Another great article! I have one of these and it certainly is capable of a wide range of rendering styles.
glad you liked it, Jack!
it is a very temperamental lens. i find that it works much better in low light situations
some people who say that this is terrible wide-open probably werent shooting with this in dark situations.
i realized that nikon designed this lens for that when i saw how well it performed in low light situations compared to brighter scenes.
i dont know what contributes to this. I will ask mr Sato when i meet him next time. he should know. this is very surprising.
i thought that this lens sucks but i was surprised myself. it has "magic", certainly a lens thats in the same level as the NOCT
