Pros:Compact, economical, bright, bokeh, decliccata ring for video, construction.
Cons:sharpness, declied photo ring
Opinion:Taken for fun at a few tens of euros, in ef-m version coupled to an M5. The construction is amazing, all metal, despite the compactness and limited weight give a good feeling of solidity. The focus is fluid, while the decliccable aperture ring is quite uncomfortable for photography, forcing you to continuously check the position both to vary it to the correct value and to verify that it has not moved (it happens often). The bokeh is creamy at TA and remains good even closed without ever becoming nervous (better e.g. canon ef 50 1.4). The contrast is pretty good as early as f1.1, and it was a nice surprise. The sharpness is very deficient at TA, of course it improves closing up to f11 (and then worsens again) but it is never really high. It is a lens that must be used with its peculiarities in mind: for landscape photos it is worse than a standard zoom such as the ef-m 18-55; So his natural field remains the portrait, with a very good detachment of the planes, and in which the lack of sharpness is not a handicap.
Opinion:bought during the lock-down for the covid19 as a toy to pass me the time. tried on sony a6000. the diaphragms' diaphragms' dial is fluid, but precise, and makes it less difficult to focus at f/1.1 especially with the help of focus peaking. On the other hand, however, the diaphragms' diaphragms are deceitful, in my opinion it is a major defect if you shoot freehand or at night, since you risk accidentally changing the set opening (especially on such a compact lens). regarding optical yield, I found myself in front of a lens with a very "particular" yield. at f/1.1 the blurring is very soft, but despite the chromatic aberrations, the optical yield is still fully acceptable, closing from f/2.8 onwards becomes quite sharp and the aberrations are greatly reduced. p.s. I reviewed the first version. a second, sharper version with a smaller, but larger, minimum focus distance has recently been released
Cons:some aberration but in relation to the non-determining price
Opinion:I note that my review refers to the MkII version of this optics which, compared to the first version, has undergone substantial improvements in its entirety. Heavy optics, metal, metal lampshade with screw attachment even inside to screw it on the barrel even with unused optics, annoying if you need to shoot maybe on the fly because the lampshade covers the ring of the maf, obscene gray cap difficult to block (at least my specimen). In the use it turns out to be a very fun optics to use, on fuji with the help of the maf you do not have big problems considering also the opening, a nice pasty bokeh, batterly colors quite saturated, coupled with the XH1 is well balanced, great for portraits, the sharpness is good enough even at full opening, but closing a stop aligns with the standards of optics of quite higher cost. Not very easy to find on the various online sites, my specimen I took used in excellent condition and I will keep it in my kit along with the xf fujinon, lens recommended for those who want to have fun with bright optics and regain confidence with the manual focus

Pros:incredible brightness, "ridiculous" price, compactness, good optical quality, precise focus dial, lampshade included
Cons:focus on f1.1
Opinion:In many ways it follows my review of samyang 85 1.4 on FF . It is a portrait and does not disappoint in this field; obviously as long as you know how to work in manual and better manage the depth of field at f1.1 . The Maf is obviously not very easy, and you have to rely on the magnification and peacking focus on the mirrorless (I own Canon M3 ) even if helped by the very good maf dial, fluid but precise. The optics, presents for its almost paltry price, an enviable soft blur and good sharpness even f1.1 in the central area (as long as you have put it in good focus. which may sometimes not be really accurate to that diaphragm, which improves exponentially already closed slightly. Of course, sharpness is related to those portraits where you do not look for the extreme sharpness of optics that cost 6 times more and weigh more than twice as much. In fact it is a very compact and quite "light" optics, although it is evident the quality of the metal and glass that composes it. At the end of the day it's an optic irecommend to those who want to save to get great portraits on aps-c with an exaggerated blur, equal to an FF with 85mm optics f1.4 - f1.8. Of course there is better, but at that price and with these features, it is a very good optics.
