Build quality

Very plasticky and will not endure much physical abuse.
Lens mount is metal.


Conclusion

Lens that don't disappoint in image quality.
Very sharp and renders very well at all apertures.
Bokeh can sometimes look a bit harsh but mostly happy with it.

Most of the lens exterior is plastic so the feel is not very good.


Thumbs up:

Bokeh / Flare


Thumbs down:
Plasticy
