Description and Reviews

Key Take-Aways:

A light everyday autofocus prime pitched at street, travel and portrait work, driven by a quiet stepping motor. Professional reviews praise the compact body, keen price, good sharpness in the middle of the frame and quiet autofocus, and fault the missing aperture ring, while flare control and bokeh get mixed verdicts.
