It was bound to happen some day, but this was the first time someone asked me via the comments about a lens I had not reviewed yet. So I had to take it out soon...
This is a smart looking lens! Stylish looks professional... but looks can deceive.
Handling mixed.. smooth aperture and focus ring, almost old style Pentax like, but regrettably difficult to focus, resulting in many unsharp photo's.
Image quality isn't horrible, but some color fringing on the edges, and most often rather soft in sharpness. Colors were decent, but needed some tweaking in Lightroom to make them pop. Bokeh was nice and smooth, but nothing extraordinary.
It's not a bad lens, and I was able to get a few good pictures, but for the budget, I'm sure you can get better. After all it's not that hard to make a good prime lens. So being mediocre might not be good enough. I guess it's in the eye of the beholder!
