[f/16] I haven't had any problems with this lens. great depth of field. the only thing is that when you first get the lens you have to enable shooting without a lens because the camera doesn't know that there is a lens attached because there are no electronics on the lens other than that this is a great lens and i love tt artison a a brand

[50mm] Nice size, little heavy but a perfect weight balance on my Canon M6. I love how the advent of mirrorless has facilitated a return to manual focus lenses and this one is great. Not a single complaint, nice nostalgic character to the images from it, but with modern sharpness and colors. Leaving it on the M6 in lieu of the 22mm f/2 all the time now.

[Manual Focus] Wide open this lens is soft, perfect for those soft-focus/dreamy portraits. Between f/2.8 and f/5.6 it is a sharp manual focus lens for any subject. At f/8 your camera becomes a point-and-shoot -- very sharp images from 0.5m to infinity. This lens does a great job as a near-macro -- focuses to 8 inches from the sensor (See attached flower photo).

[APS-C] This lens is just really fun! It pairs really well with a z30 and delivers a type and quality of pictures that is both early 90's Canon film look with the reliable use of a modern lens. You don't have to find an overpriced older lens with character, you can just buy a brand new, well built, cheap lens with built in character.

[APS-C] I've read the reviews of this lens and decided to get it. I considered the few flaws (vignetting, somewhat soft edges, reduced contrast when shooting towards the light, and manual focus) to give it character and produce unique images. My actual experience with the lens is, so far, better than I expected. The build quality is excellent. It feels solid and operates smoothly. The images, when wide open (f2.0) show some vignetting and minimal softness around the edges, which I would have done in post processing anyway. The bokeh is beautiful. The pictures are very sharp, especially when the aperture is above f5.6. The lens is small, light, and fun to use. I had no issue with the manual focus or with getting the exposure right. It took me some time to get used to the narrow aperture ring that is placed in the front of the lens. I replaced the screw-on lens cap with a center-pinch one. This lens is perfect for the Nikon Z f.

[Manual Focus] This lens should be an embarrassment for other manufacturers. If all you care about is shaaarrpppness then you probably aren't even looking at this page anyway. If you care about 3D pop, deep tonality, and life-like rendering, this lens rivals anything from German manufacturers known for those characteristics and costing 7-13x as much. Even things you wouldn't expect from a $100 lens like great flare performance - this lens has it.

Only nitpicks are the weird jump in the aperture ring from f8 to f16 and the comical heaviness of the lens. I have plenty of all metal lenses and even ones twice this size aren't this heavy. Does it feel quality and built like a tank? Absolutely. It's also as heavy as a tank and on a tiny Fuji X-E body makes the camera stupidly front heavy.

TL;DR - I gladly buy this lens for $700 because that's what I was going to pay for the same image quality from the brand that starts with V and ends with Lander.

[f/2] So far, this lens has exceeded my expectations.

[10] Yes, it's manual focus. Yes, it's heavy. It's a very old-school experience. But if you just learn some basic zone focusing, it works great for a LOT of situations. And the images you get are really stunning. Like, $800 lens stunning, with impressive contrast and beautiful bokeh. And the build quality is exquisite. It's a really fun lens, and at its price it's a great deal.

[0.69 lb] Bought the lens to use for a Fujifilm X Pro3. Solid built, good optics. The aperture ring is a bit on the small site but still easy to use. Lots of fun and great value.

[43 mm (Front)] Everyone should have one. Very enjoyable to shoot with and excellent results.
