Lens jewel! Best in Lenses

What a fun little lens! Quickly becoming one of my favorites! The first thing that catches your eye is the build quality. Most of it feels like it's made of metal and it's a very nice weight. The aperture ring has a very nice muted click and when you stop down to f/3.5 it makes a very subtle metallic 'ringing' which is lovely to hear! The focus ring is quite narrow, making it difficult to focus compared to a regular lens. The picture quality is excellent. Colors are excellent, edge-to-edge sharpness and a fantastic field of view with perfect barrel distortion. The field of view is so wide that sometimes my toes and feet are in the picture! Even though it's completely manual, it's really easy to use. With the top-of-the-line features found on most modern mirrorless cameras, focusing is pretty easy. Setting the aperture to f/5.6-8 practically eliminates the need to focus, so just turn it on and start shooting! There are certainly some minor issues with this lens, but at this price point it's very easy to overlook them. Easy if you are an MFT owner!
