They all look really good image quality. Nothing to complain about there for the price. No CA of either description in high contrast areas that I noticed

I have ordered one of these from Amazon UK to pick up when I'm over in a few weeks. The price of 264 GBP was too good to resist. Once I've got my hands on it and had some time to see how it performs I'll add some thoughts and shots on the forum.

They sent me a new firmware that removes the reverse vignette when the apertures are closed. I didn't know how to install it, so I connected the lens to my computer and copied the firmware to the lens' open disk. I'm not sure if this is the right way to do it. I don't know what the firmware number was, but it became 2.2 as in the description.

So to install all you need to do is connect and copy the file over? Not replace an existing file?

The lens's memory was empty. I just copied the new firmware.
