I like the product very much, fully consistent with my expectations.

Thanks to the body, almost without metal, and a cheap motor - very cheap and light for such image quality. At the same time, the plastic is quite high-quality and strong, although it is poorly processed in places, there are a lot of unpleasant irregularities around the glass. I thought he was some kind of toy at all, but no. ) There would be an extra couple of hundred dollars, you could take 1.4, but the main word is "extra". The whole difference is that the body and glasses are wider, with the same picture (well, minus 0.5-1 stop, of course). Zeiss Planar *T, of course, has a slightly higher sharpness, by 5-10 percent, but it will do. ))

Pros

The quality of the glass is at the level of expensive lenses. Weighs only about 150g.

Cons

The most cost-effective design, flimsy and uncomfortable focus ring. Autofocus on the street works fine, but indoors, not even dark, misses constantly.
