Build quality

All metal and very good.
Every moving part also have a nice feel to it which improves the quality feel.


Conclusion

Way better than I ever hoped for and one of the best wide angle lenses I have tested so far.
Great image quality and the build quality is as good as it gets.
All metal and turning the focus etc. have a really nice feel.
And this just shows that even a fairly unknown brand can produce some awesome lenses.

Thumbs up:
Great image quality
Build quality
Feel

Thumbs down:
Flare bit its not a problem
