I'm not particularly happy, but basically everything is fine.

I used it as a staffer on crop (60d), now I use it on 5d.
On FF, the glass certainly looks different. Reveals fully. However, the cons outweigh all the pros.

The price is very high. Abroad, you can easily buy a Japanese assembly for 9000r.

I took the Japanese assembly in Hong Kong, which was 2500r more expensive than the Taiwanese one. As a result, the trunk loosened after 2 weeks. Apparently, the Japanese assembly consisted only in the inscription on the lens "Made in Japan".

Glass has not gone far from 1.8.
Comparing heaven and earth with Nikkor 50 / 1.4.

Pros

- Aperture -Colors - bokeh

Cons

-There is no sharpness at an open aperture. You can shoot starting from 2.2, which personally does not allow me to achieve the desired results. -HA just hurt the eyes. - Cannot shoot against the sun. Catches rabbits. Blend doesn't help. -No hood included. - The price in 2022 goes off scale for such quality.
