The worst purchase in my life, dont repeat my mistake

Even though I had a variety of lenses, I never imagined that for this much money, people could be sold such poor optics in a case made of the cheapest Chinese plastic!
I paid $3,000 for it from my hands in a new state, and now I know why someone got rid of it!
Never even consider getting a new one! Do not assume that I got a faulty copy; they are all the same! The official store is currently selling them for 17,000 xDDD P / s.

Pros

All of its advantages—compact, silent, quick AF (yet, with such focal hyperfocals, start beyond 5m), and light—are lost.

Cons

I've never seen a piece of plastic so revolting! It has no strength and not just feels cheap to the touch. There are two breaks in the bayonet fastener! The plastic is quite thin. In terms of optics, it is likewise lacking in sharpness; even closing the aperture to f/ 8 or f/ 9 does not help in any way because there was never any sharpness to begin with.
