The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

Made soundly, with high quality, and you can’t say that this is a Chinese assembly. Everything is very good. Just like they did in Japan. I did not notice geometric distortions. Although, on the same Fujinon they are quite obvious. When you shoot a video on Fujinon, the person's face looks wider than it really is. Wiltrox doesn't. Video shoots "as is", without stretching.
I am very pleased that I changed Fujinon to this lens.

Pros

1. Sharp 2. Cheaper than 23/1.4 from Fujinon 3. Autofocus is faster than Fujinon

Cons

So far, the only drawback is exactly the same as that of Fujinon 23 / 1,4 - if you photograph architecture or nature on autofocus, then the machine often misses the focus. Indeed, very often. In the example: a photo with a corner of the house, the focus is normal. The photo with the window is a miss. This is one place, one conditions, one house. The difference is a couple of clicks on the trigger.
