The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:Dimensions. It can be fitted with filters. Pleasant feeling like in the old Nikon Ai-s
Cons:Mediocre sharpness. Very pronounced coma at TA. Color rendering
Opinion:After seeing enthusiastic reviews on youtube (the usual brands?), I decided to buy. Found the right moment on amazon I got it with a discount of more than 30%. First try, like all my lenses, the bell tower in front of my house. Old, very old, with lots of details in the bricks and clocks. A real disaster. Really poor sharpness in the center, and then further degrades at the edges where there are other architectural elements (houses) able to provide food for thought. Returned immediately and repurchased a second copy always on amazon (they didn't send me the same I'm sure). Identical result. In a moment of madness I decided to keep it to try in the future to re-evaluate it. Which I did, maintaining the same judgment. Put up for sale here on juza, after a few days I was ashamed of myself and took it down. Placed at rce where I got not much less than what I paid thanks to the fact that it was really indistinguishable from the new Will I have been unlucky with two not perfect copies ? (far from being acceptable...) . It may be, reading other positive reviews here as well. But if I have to compare it for example to my 20mm Z 1.8, despite being very different focal lengths, the difference is abysmal, even in terms of color rendering.
Opinion:Beautiful, sharp, flare-free, neutral colors. Had it also been tilt type i Canon it would have been the top but it is still exceptional. Despite the strongly rounded lens there are no halos or parasitic lights even at night with lights like projectors. Excellent metal and materials, exceptional fluidity of the rings. Really good in everything. I have the tse Canon except the 17 and I do not regret it
