Pros:Good balance with Nikon Z7 body - very good resolution - no distortion
Cons:Familiarization with focus fine-tuning required - some chromatic aberration
Opinion:The main technical data can be found on-line, as well as the main defects, including that of some chromatic aberrations. What is convincing is its construction, its balance on the body of the Nikon Z7 and its resolution. It's true, it doesn't communicate with the camera, but this is implicit in the type of lens and doesn't work against it. This is a lens that makes you rediscover the taste of manual focusing but also its difficulties, albeit with the help of the peak focus. The point is that a similar lens, at large apertures (from f1.4 to f4) clearly has a very shallow depth of field and managing this depth with focus peaking seems easy but it is not entirely, because it requires a familiarity with composition techniques, as well as with photographic technique. That said, if you know what you want, you're already ahead of the game, but keep in mind that in low ambient light, using the lens at f1.4 (which I would avoid doing), with the right compromise between ISO values and shutter speeds, limits its range in my opinion. These environmental conditions make it a highly specific lens or, at least, sectoralize its use. It is a good idea to use it in suitable ambient light conditions, just to be able to afford smaller apertures and greater compositional freedom with a lower percentage of error on the focus. It should be tried and used, in my opinion, after reading texts on the works of Vivian Maier or Edward Weston or Dorothea Lange, so, to feel a little more inspired!.

Pros:Good balance with nikon Z7 body - excellent resolution - null distortion
Cons:necessary familiarity with the setup of the sealing - some chromatic aberration
Opinion:The main technical data can be found on-lne, as well as the main defects, including that of some chromatic aberrations. What convinces is its construction, its balance on the body of the Nikon Z7 and its resolution. It is true, it does not communicate with the machine, but this is implicit in the type of lens and does not play against it. This is a lens that makes you rediscover the taste of manual sealing but also its difficulties, albeit with the help of the peak focus. The point is that a similar lens, with large openings (f1.4 to f4) clearly has a very small depth of field and managing this depth with focus peaking seems easy but not quite, because it requires a familiarity with composition techniques , as well as photographic technique. That said if you know what you want you already start in the lead, but it should be borne in mind that in poor ambient light use the lens to f1.4 (which I would avoid doing), with the right compromise between ISO values and shooting times, in my opinion limits its range of action. These environmental conditions make it a highly specific lens or, at least, sectoralize its use. It is a good idea to use it in suitable ambient light conditions, just to be able to afford more closed diaphragms and greater compositional freedom with lower percentage of error on fire. It should be tried and used, in my opinion, after reading texts about the works of Vivian Maier or Edward Weston or Dorothea Lange, so, to feel a little more inspired!.
