Great write up Damien, thanks for sharing!

You have me interested in trying out the 60mm lens now. I'd be curious to hear more about the lens hood mask you created for it.

Oh interesting, nice shots at the BBC too

Knud

Thanks for sharing your findings - excellent write up!

Really enjoyed that article - thanks very much, puts my mind at rest a little as I've just brought mine only 2 days ago, after lots of agonising over various alternatives. Was a very reassuring read for me, especially as like you I own a 5D MkII and Nikon so great to find a review like this

Great article, thanks. How did you know you had a bad contact on your 60/2.4? What were the symptoms? I just received mine and it seems like it isn't always communicating with the camera.

Thanks Stevebrand, Knud and Mattmaber.

Quicklad, my 60mm when set to f/2.4 acted like it was set to A. It was as if the 'A' setting was at both ends of the aperture ring. Try giving your contacts a clean with Vodka ( assuming you have no isopropylalcohol :)

Hi Christopher,

I'll write up my technique on the hood mask in a new thread under accessories :)
