I have one also...and I love it! For some, it's a step back...no SMC....no "auto" function. But for me, it improves my "photographers mind"...it forces me to be conscious of the source of lighting (to avoid flare)....it gives me the DOF (when I have to manually stop down the lens, prior to shooting)....it slows me down....and makes me think.."How can I make this photo better, through composition, lighting, etc?" I find the optical quality very good...just like all the other AOC stuff! Regards, Mike Steele
