Good Manual Focus Lens Gives great sharp images. I was new to manual focus so that was a learning curve for me but I use this lens on my Canon EOS M50 with the Viltrox adapter and it works great!
An interesting toy. It works as advertised. Good = you can shoot in low lights, and it's cheap. Bad = it's very hard to focus accurately at F/1.4. I had to put camera on a tripod and magnify LCD display to focus perfectly. This is a luxury you don't have on the go. The auto focus models would cost $600 more. You get what you paid for? You won't have this problem if you shoot at F4. It's a nice tory.
Great for the price At this price point you can't find a better lens with a potential to improve your photography so much! This lens makes you think when you are framing a shot, as you need to take care about manual focusing as well, but it is very rewarding after a while when you get used to it, and it just melts away the background and makes your subject stand out.
