lots of folks are coming to this conclusion that I came to over a year ago and posted about and met resistance.

Yep, it took a while, and i think your posts, both here and over on POTN helped keep it in the public eye until it took off (and the price went down).

I know i was influenced by your posts on this lens

Im now on my 3rd copy since November, and each copy has been spot on as far as IQ goes.

I sent my second copy back purly to free up some funds to buy a new iPad, but 4 weeks without the lens was enough and ive now brought it again.

Its caused my 24-70 f/2.8 MKII to sit in my bag for most of the time ive had a 35mm.
