Pros: light, inexpensive
Cons: hard to focus, funny bokeh
Sharpness: 7    Aberrations: 7    Bokeh: 5    Handling: 7    Value: 7    Camera Used: k-3 II   

Lens is light and easy to handle. Sharpness is good if you can focus it properly. It could be hard because aperture only f8 and there is no focus confirmation on this lens on k-3 II. There is no shake reduction as well. K-5 worked well with it. My lens came with blend and using it significantly increase contrast.

Funny bokeh


Hundred percent crop


Examples, just resized. Used monopod.
