At least, black versions (or one specimen ?) of this lens were tested twice
by a German magazine. The first time against the Tokina 300mm 1:2,8 (Tokina
was the winner), the second time (a few years later) alone with a much
better general result (Tokina was less important in the business then, end
of the eighties).
