Good news indeed. mfd of 0.95m. much better than both Minolta version.

It's troublesome to use on the A-Mount, but still a good feature IMHO. Advantage of a big and wide focus ring and does not rotate during AF.

Very interesting indeed with 0.95m mfd... SSM can only do up to 1.2m

Now I'd just hope for an IQ comparison to the beercan or SSM G-lens. Last tamron I tested had a lot of CA.

Maybe can consider a smaller reach? It's smaller in size.
