I am glad to see however, that it's working for you and if Amazing is the word that describes it in your use, then there's nothing wrong with that. My wife calls me amazing at times too but I've yet to get that consistent review from everyone but then, it only matters to one person just like this lens to you.

Cheers.

Sorry for the hyperbole but after my initial experience with a decentered copy I suppose I may have gone off the deep end with excitement that the replacement copy was so very much better it was like getting over the Flu. Normal was GREAT! However it is interesting to note how much this lens is battered by so many yet the professional reviewers out there, while pointing out it's weaknesses (as they do with virtually ALL lenses) that they also end up commenting they are keeping it for those times one is running around and are able to capture things they would otherwise have missed. That has significant value.

I'll stand by the fact that at pretty much across the board that up to 1/2 the image in the file mostly in the center is dang sharp and needs NO apologies. Sure, the corners are not perfect, but frankly in most cases that's not the end all be all critical factor of a good lens.

Glad your wife approves of you as special.

Name the gear and I've probably owned it and used it.
