Pics added.
Btw, optically I can not see any difference between the 21mm Stratus and my 21mm Pentax XL (at twice the price of Stratus). Maybe I should keep this and sell the Pentax instead :-)
PM or SMS me if interested
thanks,
Arief

Willing to trade either one of the EPs for a Tak 7.5mm LE plus cash (I pay) or both EPs for a 5.2mm Pentax XL plus cash.

Hi Arief,
How's the performance of the zoom? Say, Compared to a Vixen? Curious bout the performance cos it seems 8-24mm zoom is somehow the most common range. Is it the same thing with just a different label?
Regards,
Jeremy

Contrast and brightness of the zoom on both my 7" newt and PST is pretty good. I've never had a Vixen zoom, so can not compare. I think the glass is from Taiwan, Vixen is from Japan.
