Well, we could talk about this for hours: this is one of the most controversial, irritating, and spectacular lenses in the lineup. I won’t pretend to know what you’ll think of it, but our customers...
This is an f/1.2 aperture lens, so it’ll almost certainly require autofocus microadjustment on your camera to give you sharp images wide open. If your camera doesn’t have that feature or you’re not comfortable using it, please don’t rent this lens.
