So good to be back to manual focus Just bought the Nikon version from 6ave (71849 and tried it out for the first time this morning. Wow. Focus is so crisp, build quality is excellent. Very happy with it.
A classic This is not a lens that people talk about a lot, but it is magnificent. It is very easy to get the “3D pop” effect with it and it is nice and sharp even wide open.
Non-AF ..... Nonissue If you can manually focus a lens, the results cannot be rivaled. These lenses(I have multiple in different lengths) are the best. Period. If sharpness, bokeh and build quality are important to you...
