Build quality

Very good and with a nice feel to it.


Conclusion

Very nicely built lens that have a good feel and are very solid.

Image quality gives good center sharpness, contrast and bokeh.
Do have some soft corner and vignetting but nothing to severe.

It can also only focus down to 0.5m (1.6ft) which is not that impressive on a 35mm lens.
