Pros: Price, lightness, build quality, image quality, angle of view, very limited distortions, possibility to mount filters of 49 mm (so not exaggeratedly expensive)
Cons: A little soft at full aperture, lack of the chip to communicate with the camera body, nuts contrary to the standard to which I am accustomed, flare backlight
Opinion: I purchased from 15 days this objective. I waited a long time in Italy, then I found myself in New York, I took a tour from B&H and it was love at first sight. Finally a lens as I like, all glass (to say the real bit, given the size) and metal, Lens hood included! Very small and light lens, but with a constructive quality definitely worth noting. The ring nuts are cut to the right point and that of the diaphragms is not free, but it makes its classics "clicks" in opening or closing. A little note on the ring nuts: compared to the standard I'm used to (Fuji) they rotate in the opposite direction, but just remember and make a hand. A lens entirely in manual focus: Pity that you miss the microchip to communicate to the camera EXIF data, but at that price (449 dollars) You can turn a blind eye! A little difficult to make the fire, given the huge scene framed, but working in hyperfocal you travel in peace and you do not miss a shot. I found myself making several shots, of which some at full aperture and others at F/8-11: A f/2.8, in addition to vignette a little, the image is quite soft, and then greatly improve towards F/8 (which is how I used it mainly in these 15 days). I reserve to try again at full aperture on my X-T3 and I will correct any opinions. Another nice thing is the possibility to mount filters on the front thread, since the front lens does not protrudes due to the caming, as on other wide angles. It also accepts filters of diameter 49 mm, so I could buy some excellent B + W ND without having to faze! The point, perhaps more painful, is the tightness to the backlight: given the peculiarity of this focal length is easy to have flares quite impressive in the frame. Pay attention and, if you can't avoid them, use them on your behalf! |
