Pros:Extreme compactness, quality limited
Cons:Autofocus whisk, focal "uncomfortable", not Tropicalised
Opinion:I had this lens for almost a year, with this mounted the reflex became trasportabilissima and went into his coat pocket. The picture quality was excellent (it has the same optical design of the 40 limited). rnL'ho sold primarily as not to tropical other notes that could move to the focal lens was somewhat uncomfortable (I would have preferred something a little 'more wide) and the auto focus to whisk quite fast as it was a bit' noisy.
Cons:lens cap easy to lose, difficulty in finding a lens hood 27mm
Opinion:Objective really fun to use. Suitable for those occasions when you want to turn enough light without compromising on quality and brightness. Great focus and excellent sharpness even at full aperture. Good and quiet autofocus. The big drawback is its finding a lens hood 27mm lens cap and possibly a backup, given the ease of losing it. Value for money unbeatable.
Opinion:It has more or less the same optical characteristics of the DA40 limited and in addition has the rounded aperture blades, which makes the blurred slightly better. And 'incredibly small, even more than the limited, but this does not have the advantage in construction. The barrel is made of plastic and the cap is made of rubber and fits in pressure, so it tends to peel off very easily. The autofocus beater is fast, accurate and quiet. Optically really nothing to say.
