Small marvel
This lens is simply spectacular. Optics are ultra-sharp, nicely contrasty, and enhance the extreme depth of field of the ultra wide angle perspective. Mechanics are smooth and compact, and everything balances beautifully. This stealthy lens is an absolute marvel. I had to use it with LiveView as add-on viewfinders on top of an M-body are not only conflicting with all other workflows, they also lack the quality of the rest of the package.
