I tried a couple of these several years apart (do we learn?) because
it does seem to be a nice, quiet, reasonably compact camera.
The viewfinder framing accuracy was so bad that framing by "guestimate"
would be about as accurate. Both 40's I tried I would rate pretty low
quality at wide apertures, moderately good at optimum apertures.
The two 90mm f4's performed differently: one was terrible at any
aperture, the other was fine throughout. I did not like the CL's.
Hope this helps.
