Really blown away by the build quality and durability of this little lens. Though it has some slight vignetting and distortion, it is nothing that can't be fixed in post. I use this lens primarily for real estate interior photos and outdoor climbing photos when I need a wide angle. It preforms amazing in ample light as well as low light situations and the thick/geared focus ring makes me feel like a professional.

I have the 35, 50, 75 and realized I needed something wider for a shoot coming up. I am a big fan of all the SLR Magic primes and finished a pbs doc using the other lenses exclusively. It looks fantastic and they are easy to get a feel for. They are clean but have some character. Not sterile looking. The 18 is the same way and focuses extremely close. Perfect for masking a low budget Revanant.

This is not a photography lens, but is quite adept and sharp at all forms of photography. You probably need to take the distance measurements with a grain of salt. But this is true of many similar lenses and can be combated by focus assists.

I couldn't get it to focus on infinity. The stars in the night sky were not sharp at all. I returned it and got a Zeiss 18mm f2.8.
