    Great Lens!!!5.0/5

    Great Lens!!! Image quality is very good to excellent across the FOV (resolution , contrast and saturated colors). Very solid build. Impressed with this lens from the very beginning. This is a great lens!!!

    Excellent 35mm4.0/5

    Excellent 35mm I used this lens with my Canon 60D for a wedding in the church (indoor and outdoor at the evening). This is perfect for portraiture. And this has a confirmation chip. But you need to take good care of focus with Live View mode as Magiclantern focus peaks is not 100% reliable. I lost some shots with focus peak. So I had to magnify the Live view to focus exactly. But again, this is quite good lens for portrait photography and videography.

    Makes you think through every shot… but rewards 5.0/5

    Makes you think through every shot… but rewards It’s a beast of a lens and learning to get it in focus is a task. As the aperture is manual, you have to think through everything before the shot, but it’s fun and something that every beginner should use to learn how to use a camera.
