Rated 5 out of 5

Very sharp and fun lens

Manual everything. The tilt and shift functions of this lens are a lot of fun -- two different knobs. The focus is very much tuned for macro and photographing wide-open between 15 and 30 feet can be hard. However, landscapes end up being very good with the ability to twist and turn the DoF however you wish.
