A Chinese lottery winner!
Buying a manual UWA or fisheye lens from China can sometimes seem a bit like entering a lottery. Win and you get a lens that's built like a tank (just like it used to be..) and offers an IQ well above anything you could expect for the money. Lose and you get a piece of junk that must be returned immediately. As someone who has done scientific and environmental consultancy in China, I can point out - IMHO - this is due to a generic weakness in quality assurance and control in that country. But that's enough for me and China. I can tell you that this Z format FF Fisheye is one of the earlier types. It's solid as a brick, smooth in focus, sharp wide open, and outstanding when paused. What more do you want? OK, it's relentlessly manual and doesn't pass IPTC core data, but all of that is easy to sort out in my Z6. I would recommend anyone buying a similar lens to fully test before adopting. But as they say about lotteries, if you don't buy a ticket, you will never win. And this one was certainly worth the ticket...
