I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

I bought a new lens from the editorial office of a printed publication for 6500. Apparently they knew how to choose lenses, because there is no front and back focus. If you take pictures by the light of a flashlight at night at F 1,4 on the target, right in the center of the frame, there is a strip where chromatic aberrations occur. During the day they are not there, the image is greatly spoiled. You can fix it in the editor, but it's not nice. It collects dust well, and there is no lens hood in the kit (and this at a price of a new one in the region of 20,000!). Cutting. At night, starting at F10 and below, you can easily create good beams from light sources. At this price, the disadvantages are not significant, it is impossible to buy something similar cheaper.

Pros

Great luminosity. Light. Well put together. Excellent picture, sharpness from F 2.0 Fast focus on the D7100. Beautiful bokeh. Allows 24 MP camera matrix Not too loud for a screwdriver lens, the sound is louder in the reviews, apparently depends on the camera servo. For the D7100, a good solution for video shooting (a convenient focusing ring, good aperture, an aperture ring to adjust without turning off LiveView).

Cons

At F 1,4 with artificial lighting, chromatic aberrations are in the center of the frame (on the target, this is about 3% of the frame in the very center). Doesn't always focus well. If you shoot at night a lamp on a concrete pole or the moon, then a miss in 60% of cases. Strong soft effect at F 1.4. The result is highly dependent on the type of lighting.
