[Tested on Nikon variant] What I like: Solid metal construction, Excellent image quality, It is super fun (even when you are stuck at home), Ultra macro at affordable price (USD$399).
What I don’t like: Not a beautiful looking lens, No auto-aperture (for DSLR shooters using viewfinder), No infinity focus.
