I heavily used them the last 4 years (about 5000 slides have been made in that time). The quality is very satisfying for me but not in the macro distance (pillow and barrel effects) which I knew before I bought it. It was the only one of that kind in those days. And after 4 years? There is only one small problem now: It zooms automatically if the camera faces the floor which can be bad in some cases (this effect is very limited but it is there). Juergen A.
