Pros: Not bad T/A sharpness, transition between focus point and out of focus excellent and pleasant, construction, equipment, weight and price, bokeh ?

Cons: Vignetting and lighthouse aberration: relegated exclusively to night photography.

Opinion: it is a very valid option with a good AF but improvable (I speak from installed on Z5, however it does its job but a little slowly...), excellent lens for those who want to afford a 200 ƒ/2 without spending the wrath of god. In my opinion it is not a very sensible purchase if you already own a 70/80-200 ƒ/2.8 with good blur or if you want to relegate the purchase only and exclusively to astrophotography. The drop-in filter solution is excellent, the 105mm thread is futile (also because an optical filter works better near the sensor). Flare ok but better to use it with a lens hood...! Various functions such as click-declick useful for videomakers, minimum distance MAF 1.5mt, sealing ring with integrated removable ARCA SWISS foot does a lot of stuff. It is a telephoto that winks at many for many features that are worth taking into consideration. I forgot: I really like the new Laowa look... It was time to stop with these "bescioline" or black colors. Excellent stylistic choice.
