Lens Review Template

Below is the template that I've come up with for a lens review. If you'd like to do a review of a lens you own, copy everything below this paragraph, paste to a new topic, and replace the existing data as appropriate. If you don't know it, just leave the field blank. If a review for your lens already exists, post your review as a reply to that existing topic. In that case, you can choose to leave out everything above "Product Ratings" if you wish. For new reviews, title the topic "Lens Review: [Full Lens Name Here]". Lastly, please reply to this thread with any ideas to improve this.

(Put your thoughts down here, opinions based on what you've seen, photo examples, etc. Some ideas for what to cover: Build quality, resolving power, contrast, vignetting, chromatic aberration, color reproduction, anything you want -- there are no requirements.)
