I'm getting one of these from ebay, but the only info Ken Rockwell has is on the AI-s version, which does have CRC. Can anyone help me out? Thanks, Chip
Yep - all versions of this lens had CRC since it was first introduced in the late 60's.
Some optical design changes with the AI/AIS versions, impacting mostly flare and ghosting performance.
I have the pre-AI version from 1970 and it's a great lens - real sharp. Good for landscapes, but watch out for field curvature if you're shooting flat objects like buildings up close.

Meh. I don't like the G lenses regardless of speed. Cannot use them on all my cameras. Not all that enamored with AF lenses in general. I always seem to find situations where they've difficulties.
