Pros: Very high optical quality equal to the olympus/panasonic competition, 2:1 magnification, excellent metal construction, light and small size, lens hood supplied, precise focusing, price appropriate to the product, 0 distortions, can also be used for portraits or general photography

Cons: In my opinion, the only flaws are the lack of resistance to backlight and the very short working distance when shooting 2:1

Opinion: This lens in my opinion is really good from all points of view, in the past I had the 60 olympus on which I mounted the raynox 250 lens to have a higher magnification and I can say that in terms of sharpness it is on par. The construction is really good like all venus laowa, metal and glass, lens hood included (in the olympus not and it costs an arm and a leg). The working distance is very short especially when you want to reach 2:1, we are talking about 4/5 cm but if you want a lens with which you can work at greater distances you have to go for the oly 90 which unfortunately costs three times as much. It is not tropicalized and has no stabilization, but on the other hand it is very small and light. I bought it on amazon new for 350 euros, usually it goes from 450 to 500 euros. This lens has electrical contacts so it communicates with the camera and therefore transmits the complete exif data and allows you to open or close the diaphragm from the camera (in fact it has no physical aperture ring). In terms of image, it has very neutral colors, very high sharpness and really nice bokeh. I recommend this lens to those who do macro and want to use it for some other photographic genre as well, the 2:1 magnification without having to add lenses or extension tubes is something fantastic.

Pros: weight, construction, sharpness,

Cons: for now nothing

Opinion: taken for fun, creates addiction, color quality sharpness, complete with hood, is also appreciated for generic photos such as portrait or paesaggio.il nice not to run to photograph.perfect with the camera body, does not unbalance, and the 2: 1 even if a little soft is always of good quality ... Recommended for those who can do without autofocus... vote 10
