Mediocre goods, most likely I will not use.

I bought this lens as soon as it appeared on the market. I was seduced by the aperture ratio and the magical, unpronounceable German name. In fact, sharpness at apertures up to f / 2.0 is very weak, plus the strongest curvature of the field (the center of the frame is in focus, there is no focus at the edges - and this is not "soap", but there is no focus). Plus a huge mass - all this makes this lens of little use for landscape and photography in general. Its destiny is specific rare tasks…

Pros
  • Aperture, metal case, made in Japan
Cons
  • Strong curvature of the field, very heavy

The right product for me, there were no problems.

What else will you buy with 0.95? Similar quality canon costs under 250 thousand. I am very glad. I'm not going to change. The only negative is that the bokeh is not soft, but with strokes. ATTENTION! Immediately purchase an ND filter in the kit. At a fully open aperture, even at iso 200, everything is lit up in meat! If you want to take pictures and shoot during the day at 0.95 - buy darkening glasses !

Pros
  • Perfect build. A monstrous monolith of steel. The feeling that you are holding a high-class thing. Backlash is just zero ! Compared to it, L-ki from canon is just rubbish with dangling rubber bands and rings. Pure steel. The only glass at the moment with an aperture of 0.95 for this money is Voigtlanders. Excellent sharpness and color reproduction. I shoot video in 4k on it - the colors are juicy, bright, correct.
Cons
  • His bokeh "as if a fly ran through" - inaccurate small strokes. Roofing felts because the lenses are aspherical, roofing felts FIG knows. Before buying, take a VERY close look at the photos on it - do you like this bokeh . If you like this bokeh, feel free to TAKE it!
