It is right up there with the best Rob; DA*300 & DFA150-450.

I'm not sure of the reason that the DFA150-450 and DA560 are not rated * - I would love to here others opinions on this. IQ is up there with all the stars IMO.

What makes a * Lens?

"To be designated as a Star-series product, a lens must demonstrate extremely high resolving power and contrast — from the center of the image field to the edges, even at open aperture — and exceptional optical performance with minimal distortion and color bleeding. In addition, it must be a very bright lens with one of the largest open apertures in its class. It must provide extreme strength, superior dustproof and weather-resistant performance, and outstanding operability. Only when all these requirements are satisfied, it is named a Star-series lens because it incorporates the very best of our state-of-the-art technologies that optimize the photographer's creative freedom."

It's a bit subjective. Not sure what's missing (is the 560 WR ?).
