To me, a "small" miracles ...

At the full-frame sensor of the 5D Mark II This lens is an interesting
Picture angle.
On a camera with APS-C sensor cover them with this lens almost a 50mm
Lens.
It is a lightweight wide-angle lens that much in the picture
involving, but not yet severely distorted. In addition, it is easy and
you like to sit there on his camera.
Due to the high light intensity can play nicely with the depth of field.
The processing is in my opinion ok.
I consider this small and lightweight lens therefore for a small miracle,
because I Wür little money, a very sharp image, lightweight, unobtrusive
Lens get.

What is good?

- High luminosity

- Beautiful picture angle

- Lower minimum distance to the object (good for close-ups)

- Very sharply starting at full aperture, however slight fringing
at f2.0, which disappear until around f2.8, but not very disturbing!

- Light

- Very versatile

What is not good?

- Strong vignetting (vignetting) at maximum aperture by about 1-2 diaphragms!

However, >> I think this vignetting nice and not remove it from my pictures,
as it gives a certain romance and drama to the image. Less good is the
However, for architectural photographers due to the differences in brightness!

- From a certain distance, this lens features a strange Bokeh. On the basis of
the only 5 aperture blades no butter soft bokeh!

- Strong Fokussiergeräusche: If you want to shoot in a church at random,
It may happen that you look at them strangely; because that Fokussiergeräusch
sounds like as if a few angry mosquitoes caught in the lens. Photograph
outside it, this noise but hardly disturbs

- Periodic processing - quality and durability always has her price.

- Smaller focus ring

- Colors are weaker and less defined than the approximately 1.000 more expensive L Optics
by post but easy to solve. Filmer might this look because of the
said point but interested.

CONCLUSION:
Price / performance is very good.
Who does not need a weather protection and top processing at its lens and
a sharp imaging objective requires that, despite the absence of ultrasonic motor
focused loud, but very quickly, for the 35mm f2.0 This is a
faithful companion!
