Great lens! Sharp! Well-controlled flare and ghost images. I bought this lens in 1977, first wide angle for me. With EBC Fujinons, I was spoiled and didn't know it, especially in regard to flare control. I have many great slides with the sun in the image; no veiling glare. Even today, this lens holds up well optically, and mechanically works perfectly without ever being serviced. Fuji seems to have dust proofed their lenses better than average. This lens was never pampered, yet is nearly free of specks. Mechanically solid (all metal) yet quite compact.
