Thank you for the reviews on these beautiful lenses. If AF is an issue - to any degree - then just do manual. I always do manual focus on just about everything, but then I don't have to worry about any time restraints being I am retired. Curious to know how a V series lens would be on your digital. Just saying. I'd love to see that and a side-by-side of images. Damn it, now I'm really curious. Thank you again sir. Extremely high quality results.
