The lens is made really well. It feels super solid and is quite heavy. The images are quite impressive and the lens adds such a nice effect. I have never seen or owned a lens like this before so it was a little confusing in the beginning. Once I figured it out though it was smooth sailing. I love how it adds softness around the subject, it's really dreamy. The super modest pricing on this makes it absolutely worth it. The only thing I can really complain about is the weight, since it adds a lot to the body of the camera. Had it been lighter though, I would consider it flimsy, so it's a bit of a compromise.

I grabbed this for my X-T1. Fit is a little lose. It locks in place but has a little bit of play. More than any of my other lenses. In order to use this lens, you might have to go into your settings and change the "shoot without lens" setting. My X-T1 wasn't recognizing the lens so it wasn't allowing for the trigger to activate. Once you change this setting, you should be good though. Oh and be sure to switch to manual focus. Nice lens though. Heavy which is usually a good indicator of quality. Read more

I have this for other mounts as well, so when I saw this one I needed to have it. It’s also good to test consistency across the line. Handles the same as my other mount version, and clicks into place nice and firmly. My best shots are from high up, that’s usually the case with tilt lenses. The image quality when you keep it straight isn’t quite as good as a dedicated 35mm, but that doesn’t really matter with tilt photography. I’ve found it works best not totally wide open, maybe f2.8 at the most. You’ll pretty much keep focus at infinity and everything will be reasonably sharp. Color does seem a little muted though, but I think that’s just me not really mastering the camera. Still, this is a fun lens I think everyone should get. It’s not much to own, so there’s a lot of value. Read more
