Note however that the shallow depth of field at wide apertures which requires unwavering focus for close-up pictures (eg portrait) By cons, it is true that it is plastic, which makes it quite fragile (it is also a replacement purchase, my previous who made the soul méchappant hands at 50cm from the ground) It is also true that it is extremely noisy, so unusable without external micro video. A purchase to make knowingly!
