One of the best offers, glad I bought it.

This lens has been on my want list for a while, and I finally caved and got it for my next trip to Italy. Beautiful glass, ideal for taking pictures of landscapes and buildings (with almost little distortion if you hold the item in the center). The lens's modest weight makes it a welcome companion on any trip. At this focal length, you don't need to give any thought to focusing; just set it to infinity, and you're good to go. The essentials are all in focus thanks to the lens' broad field of view.

Pros

Benefits include a small size, low weight, a wide aperture, a low price, and a built-in lens hood.

Cons

Why it was hard to paint the whole lens is unclear, however there is a 0.7 cm metal strip at the mount that sticks out in stark contrast to the rest of the lens.
