Optical quality seems OK, but fixed f ratio and no AF and no communication between the lens and mount.
Alex - AF has been around for only 20 odd years, how do you think pros managed at sporting events with the older Nikon F and Canon FD lenses? AF is a great bonus, but it is possible to manually focus on fast moving objects with a lot of practice.

True.. I have manually focused and photographed a dragonfly in flight with a 500mm super-tele before.. but it was a pure fluke! I know it can be done, but in this day and age, would you if you didn't have to?
