I have had it for over 15 years. Performed fabulously till I dropped it. Lens hood was smashed but the lens survived. Still gives excellent results but sometimes, when you set the aperture at F/22, it shoots wide open at f/2.8. So you might want to check out results at all apertures before buying a used lens.
Absolutely fantastic shot. I particularly like the glowing exhaust.
I too cast my vote for Vuescan. I have been been using it with my Nikon Coolscan V on Windows 7 for years with excellent results.
Wonderful pictures.
Thank you for sharing them.
