Cons: No electronic coupling with the camera body means no exif info for future reference

Pros: Incredible IQ for the price

Summary: A well-built lens with the image quality of much more expensive alternatives. I shoot landscapes so the distortion is no problem for me, and I can always correct for it with PTLens. More importantly, I found out that shooting 4 frames at f/8, when focusing on the 0.28m, 0.4m, 0.7m, 2.0m markings, allows me to create a composite image where everything is tack sharp from 0.23m to infinity (post processing done with Helicon Focus). This lens is SHARP!
