Very wide aperture. Sharp from edge to edge at f/1.2. No distortion. Optical stabilization system. Physical aperture ring. Fantastic build quality.

high build quality, brilliant image quality in the frame centre, very good image quality on the edge of the frame, very low lateral chromatic aberration, practically zero distortion, excellent coma correction, low astigmatism, out of focus image pleasing
high vignetting, a bit too pronounced longitudinal chromatic aberration.
The list of pros and cons speaks for itself, leaving no doubt what kind of lens you deal with. I admit I was tempted to give it our “Editors' Choice Award” but I restrained myself, mainly due to that huge vignetting. An expensive lens designed for small s...
