I only got into photography and videography because I am a teacher and have yet to homeschool my students. I have too many expensive hobbies right now, including video recording, and lenses are insanely expensive. I almost didn't buy this lens thinking you get what you pay for like pretty much everything else. However, that is not the case with this lens. I would advise you to check out the numerous reviews on YouTube, they all speak enthusiastically about this lens and rightly so. It has an all-metal body (even including the lens cap), it has little chromatic aberration even at f/1.4 and has amazing bokeh wide open. I just wish Meike would offer similar lenses with shorter focus distances as I like to use them at close range. I realize this is a more difficult task as a lot more glass would have to be used. I also love the manual focus. It's nice and smooth and so is the iris as it's not overpowering. Really really high quality lens. Will definitely be back for more Mike suggestions.
