    Cons: - Good build quality - Incredible center sharpness even at f/0,95 - Aperture stays round when stopped down - Creamy bokeh at short and medium distances - Acceptable to good sharpness over the frame at f/4 (gets worse if you stop down more)

    Pros: - Quite heavy - Declicked aperture ring - Bokeh can look busy at longer distances - Never tack sharp from edge to edge - Sensitive to flare

    Summary: This is a specific lens I really enjoy. It is excellent for low light portraits at f/0,95 with truly great sharpness in the center and nice smooth bokeh everywhere else. In good light, it\'s quite sensitive to flare but it can lead to some good looking creative effects. At longer distances, the lens has busier distinctive bokeh, I personaly find it a bit nervous but subject separation is still easier than with any standard APS-C lens. The only thing to know is that the lens never becomes tack sharp from edge to edge. Best results when stopping down to f/4, usable but not Fujinon\'s level. The Mitakon is not the best 35mm for general use but it allows you to play with depth of field like no other. It seems well build (all metal) and is surprisingly heavy for it\'s size.
