Greetings, I have been reading through the great many posts and comments here. A frequent question seems to be "is this lens any good". I thought I would ask it in a different direction:
Are there any bad modern lenses? Of the big four; Nikon, Fuji, Rodenstock, or Schneider are they producing any bad glass?
Certainly based on some of the articles on this site (like future classics) all the modern lenses seem pretty darn good. True some stand out as being better( the Schneider 110 XL and Rodenstock 150/5.6 S to name two).
Do any stand out as being worse?
Or is it really a question of what focal lengths people prefer? Everytime someone asks about a lens there is always at least one comment like I find that too long/too short/too much of a "tweener". Really more comments about themselves than the lens. I know I "see" in wide angle but others do not. Then again I struggle with a normal view and others shine there.
Or is it a question of fast vs. slow lenses? And are the slow lenses really any worse?
If you were out looking for a new modern lens from the big four what (if any) would you avoid?
