Test Pictures:
Product shot in 1:2.5 close up
Impressions & Notes:
The komine v3 copy does much better in close up as I see a lot of ghosting in the 1:4 close up with the Tokina, something noticed by others too when I discussed the lens in forum. I should look for a lens hood for the Series 1 as I do have run into glare in the late afternoon washing out some color in the shots.
- serial number starts with 28
- the only version among the three that has 'A' settings
- weight is middle tier in 860g in between 710g Tokina and the 879g Kiron
- perhaps the barrel are not as big, I feel similar handling to the Tokina
- close up is found pretty decent at 1:2.5
- I still prefer the color and contrast from Kiron but I will give the Komine slightly better than Tokina
- sharpness is middle as 2nd runner after Tokina
- best overall due to the 'A' setting, faster speed in f/2.8 in the shorter end.
- cost more than twice of v1 and v2, recent sale goes about $160 to $180 in both ebay and Marketplace.
- More frequent use of the zoom has shown CA in shots with high contrast area. Not as severe as shown in Tamron 70-300mm Di LD but noticeable.
