  • Excerpt: When I first saw this lens, it looked like jewelry to me. Like a gem. So small, so well crafted. Made out of quality aluminium, it has this pleasing feel of cold metal,...
  • Pros: Excellent craftsmanship, size, color rendition, sharpness wide open, good "bang for your buck" ratio
  • Cons: Wish it was faster, but considering the size of the lens, I doubt that is possible.
