38% of users say that: Product works great, is small, is very sharp, is fast. Len is very sharp, works great, is perfect, is very compact. Camera is achieved, is some light fall off, are infinitely lighter, is now my "grab. Picture are crisp, are clear, are so sharp, are nature. less than 1% of users noticed that: Manual focus is very annoying, will not work without power, is still dependent on the motor, is a little strange. Distortion don't want, is very little, is quite low. Noise don't hear. Focusing ring is actually an electronic control, is a bit annoying, is at the edge of the lense.
