Great inexpensive lens!

I want to start with this for people looking at this lens and maybe not reading the full reviews. all in this lens. You must shoot in manual "M" mode or your camera will tell you the lens is not attached. This is 100% user error. I like shooting old N/AI lenses with my Nikon D7500 and shooting manually with my AF lenses, so this lens is perfect for my shooting style. Handheld photography is awesome and I recommend anyone serious about photography to explore their camera's M mode. I'd like to start by saying this lens is a lot bigger than I expected for such a low price, the construction is fantastic, it's a heavy lens in a metal body. It fits perfectly in your hand. When the light permits I shoot with this lens at f/11 and ISO 640 or higher on my Nikon D7500, f/11 is the best option in my opinion. Shooting with f/11 is also more forgiving if you misjudge the focal length. I don't know what the coating is on the glass, but the color reproduction is a bit distorted and a bit flat, but that's easily adjusted with the camera settings. The reason I gave it three stars for the scenery is because it's so wide it pushes everything so far away. But if you're shooting up close, such as B. a tree or an old fence post and using the landscape as a background is great. And four stars for image quality based on color reproduction, I think it's on par with a lens in this price range, but I have a feeling it could be better. But that's not a complaint at all, in general it's an excellent lens. Remember this is a MANUAL lens. So if your camera tells you that there is no lens attached, it is 100% operator error. File, try another file." The only thing I can think of is that the file sizes are too big, but I'll keep trying.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Will do
