Every lens is microscopically different, and this one imparts a texture to my photos that I haven't been able to get on any other lens. It sort of reminds me of the time I spoke with members of the Cleveland Quartet, after they had completed a concert on Stradivarius instruments at the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, DC. I asked one of the violinists what was different about the Strad from ordinary violins. He answered, "It's just a lot easier to make good sounds."
