This is a fabulous manual focus lens that really works well on the Nikon Z 6 II in my case. Beautifully built like a tank, ?all? metal, very sharp and clear at 0.95, just a fun piece of kit to use. Focus ring is smooth and precise. For the price, this lens is hard to beat. That being said, my only major complaint is the lack of electronics to communicate with the device. A minor complaint is related to the de-clicked aperture ring, it is great for video, but since I shoot primarily images, I would prefer one that is clicked. A switch for click/n0-click would have been a nice compromise.

Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase. It's great for portraiture and indoors shots and not so great as a general purpose walkaround lens due to the flaring and bokeh at longer distances. 3.5 stars Pros: +f/0.95! +Creamy bokeh for things closer than ~5 feet +Solidly built +Long focus throw making it very easy to focus with peaking +Performance from ~f/1.6 onward Neutral/Average: *Colors *Contrast *Dreamy at f/0.95, especially when focusing on objects closer than 3 feet away *Performance at f/0.95 (usable and comparable to competitors) Cons: -The lens has major problems with point light sources at night leading to wild lens flares. -Heavy -Nervous bokeh for things further than ~5 feet -Lens hood attaches loosely
