Picture from Nikon.com Another very compact design, that performs marvellous. It produce biting sharp pics, with a tendential high contrast and saturation.

From f/11 the diffraction start to wreck his performance. On infrared the only problem is to achieve correct focus at wide apertures, but if you …
