Revainrating 4 out of 5

The item is of good quality, there is only one minor defect.

I don’t know what kind of professional photographers take pictures with this lens. From myself I will say the following: I have been photographing interiors and architecture since 2022. I have sigma 8-16 (on crop), samyang 14 2.8 on Sony A7II and until recently there was this miracle, which I barely sold. For architecture and interiors, autofocus is not needed - this is a fact. The shooting is slow, there is no need to catch moments. there was hope for sharpness at the edges of the frame. Why then pay 120 thousand, if the same soap is on samyang for 25,000. At a wide angle, there is always soap around the edges, even with a small hole. I have not yet seen a lens that solved this problem. I have tried every width available on the market. 11/17/19 Still, it's good for video. Better than what I've seen. Due to minimal distortion, it reduces the time for video processing. There are profiles for editing a photo, and buying it for 120 purely for a photo is a dubious investment.

Pros
  • Pleasant to the touch. Suitable for video due to autofocus. When shooting a video, it speeds up post-processing, due to the fact that you do not need to edit the geometry. There is almost no distortion.
Cons
  • Expensive. Soap around the edges in any case, on an open hole.
