And so I've quite a few recessions for Walimex (. Same as the Samyang, Rokinon, Bower, Opteka and so on All of these companies have the license purchased to build the same objective, sounds funny, but it's true) read on Youtube looked at some reviews and really could always get read / hear out that although it is a manual lens (focus and aperture), is really easy to use and I can fully subscribe. From 0.3 m to 1.5 and infinity can adjust it manually. Eg for a close up it really needs the 0.3, so the image is sharp. The focus can not be determined through the viewfinder. Even more in Live View mode + Zoom or when the image has been shot on the display. But as I said, this is not rocket science and can be changed very fast by bike on the lens.
One reads again and again over the figure of the lens hood in the picture. For a camera with the Crop Crop 1.6 (600D) which is not the case. One must therefore hardly edit an image unless you want to change something about the sharpness, contrast, color, etc ...
For those who do not know whether the objective is worth the money. One can for this lens also pay less than at present 340 ... but this 340 is really worth it. Clearly it is not always top lens, but for group shots, fun shots, architecture and landscapes can be there immediately and always use.
I am more than happy, to be honest I'm even though I've already imagined very well once more surprised how good it is. Incidentally, it is very difficult to 440g, but this feels better ...
Then read and evaluate a lot of fun while recessions).
