from e'by Summary: I shoot a lot of low light photography and this lens definitely comes in handy.
Very good optics with medium high contast. Bokeh is superb.
I have been using Canon EOS lens for over 10 years.
Since I switched back to manual focus lenses, I start noticed that Canon's lenses is too contrast where it filtered out some of the medium dark color tones.
This is what I found with Nikon lens as well.
I love this lens. Light enough for handheld and it is small enough to fit in my camera bag.
Strengths: Compact, well balanced weight, great optics and precise manual focus mechanism .
Works Great with SP 140 1.4X tele-converters. Slightly soft but decent result with 2X teleconverters.
Very 3D look with 2.8 lens vs F4 lens
Well worth the money over F4 lens. Weaknesses: Like all the lens shooting with DSLR,
it does show very slight trace of CA in some extreme contrast lighting conditions but easy fix in post processing.
Adaptall adapters for EOS is expensive. However, other adaptall adapters can be found for under $30 shipped ( Olympus/Nikon/Pentax ) + Olympus/Nikon/Pentax to EOS adapter for under $20 shipped.
