Full compliance with the manufacturer's assurances, high quality.

I'll start with the disadvantages: - The first thing you pay attention to when working with this optics is the noise of the focusing system. This is by far the noisiest lens I've come across. It is especially unusual to hear this inside such a baby. - Included with the lens were 2 caps - one for glass, and the second for a rectangular hood. Losing the second is easier than ever, as it is an ordinary hard rubber band that can come off even with a light step. At the same time, given the

Pros
  • - The weight - Dimensions - Aperture - Secondary market price - Tight aperture ring - Stylish retro hood
Cons
  • - Loud focus sounds - Inability to put the cap on the lens hood - Lack of WR

A great option for this money, one of the best offers.

I bought it because I had a chance to take it for half the price. Exceeded expectations. Excellent compact, reliable, the picture is such that you don’t want to take it off the carcass. About autofocus. Misses happen at close range. If the object is at least 2-3 meters away, it almost does not smear. When autofocusing, it buzzes as if a small Karlsson with a propeller is sitting inside, and trying to get out. But I quickly got used to it, there is some kind of vintage in it) Although it is…

Pros
  • Picture quality (drawing) Sharpness (razor) Compactness (almost a pancake) Build quality (metal) Aperture (2.0)
Cons
  • During autofocus, it buzzes unexpectedly strongly. The lid (the one that is put on the hood) does not hold well, it is easy to lose.

My impression of the purchase is good, buy it.

Difficult feelings. Glass from the last century, but at the same time you can work. The picture is good. I switched from Sony there, the digital picture is ugly, but the Sony pancake worked like clockwork quickly and accurately. You have to choose the lesser of two evils With its pros. 1. Beautiful Fuji lamp picture 2. Low price (if you buy in Thailand) 3. Made in Japan for people with love 4. Separate aperture ring 5. Lightness? Pancakes are all easy Got cons: 1. Creepy sounds when focusing. I

Buy a pure try lens, but in the end I put the 27 mm pancake on the shelf and shoot nature with this lens. Very satisfied. The aperture ring allows you to quickly navigate when shooting nature, especially when you need to do it quickly (from the car there). It also captures city streets very well. B&W photo just fly away. The aperture is excellent, it allows you to shoot a beautiful night sky and the Milky Way. In general, the lens is excellent. Ordered in Thailand for 18 tr When shooting…

Pros
  • Good color reproduction and colors, weight, pleasant handling
Cons
  • It makes a lot of noise when focusing, sometimes blurs the focus, well, I would like autofocus to be faster

I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

I bought it as a landscape fix. As for sharpness at full open, I can say that I had the opportunity to choose from two copies, one of which I kept for myself. Although, how often do you need a fully open aperture in landscape photography? And a little covered - and the sharpness became normal. At 5.6 - 8, that is, the most "running" apertures in the landscape, the sharpness is excellent. But, as I said, it gets worse closer to the edges. But all this is quite possible to forgive! I kept this…

Pros
  • Very light and compact "pancake". The image is quite voluminous, in general the picture is very good. The running size of filters - I fit from the old optics, I didn’t have to buy.
Cons
  • Chromatitis is noticeable - you have to edit in the editor. On the fully open a little soapy. Sharpness at the edges is noticeably worse than in the center.

Great product, a pleasure to use.

I ordered this lens right from Thailand, it cost ten thousand cheaper than in our stores. I chose for a long time, I did not find an alternative. The lens is not perfect, but interesting. Aperture 2.0 allows you to get a beautiful background blur. The lens is sharp, and I don't see any problems around the edges either. I do not quite like the geometry, the distortion is noticeable. The focus buzzes and aims for a long time, often smears. I filmed a dog from a distance of 1 meter, out of 6…

Pros
  • Sharpness, aperture, pattern
Cons
  • Slow and inaccurate autofocus
