    Take a quick look at the MTF charts for the Zoomar, though. It may be fast, but it’s about as sharp as a butter knife, even in the center.

      OMG!?!?! That’s just madness!! What can you possibly do with such a lense?! It looks like something from a spaceship…

    Just curious, what do you do with a 180mm f/1.3? Stalking someone in the dark?

      anyway this lens is sharp like yogurt bottle. if you take 50 f1.8 and crop heavily you get more details out

    Will the Zoomar 180mm autofocus on my D40x?

    No but it will shoot ve-e-e-e-ry shallow depth of field 720p HD video on a D90 or D5000 to say nothing of a Canon EOS 5D Mark 2. :-)
