Normal product, but wanted more for the money.

On the Internet, there are a ton of evaluations and enthusiastic declarations that this glass is fantastic and that nothing could be finer. Everyone talks about extreme sharpness, loudness, etc. The reviews, in my opinion, are either fabricated or reflect people's attempts to deceive themselves.
It is unfortunate to pay $130,000–$144,000 and receive a defective lens with an open aperture.

Pros

Designed well and made entirely of metal, including the focus ring.

Cons

Indistinct at 1.4 to 1.6. I expected to obtain high quality for the money I paid, but sadly I did not. Smears focus at 1.4 on the eyes. I thought that the working aperture values only ranged from 1.8. Additionally, blur was always created with a shutter speed of 1/60 to 1/100 with an open aperture.
