You should buy this lens just to play with it and create heavenly pictures. The only downside is that whatever's on the lens barrel isn't useful in the traditional sense. The focus scale is labeled "near" and "far". The opening marker is off, far away and should have been labeled 'open' and 'closed'. The lens mount is very secure, almost makes me think it's a bit tight. Close-up focus is a rear limit, not close enough for me, but should be enough for everyday day shots. Edge sharpness improves when you stop down to f4 or f8, but this is common with most lenses. The image is not centered (at least on my copy) and the top part of the image is a bit cropped, but when mounted on the FF camera the circle is full. Just remember to switch the metering pattern to the center only, otherwise the black areas will push the exposure towards the upper limit.
