I have the pre-SMC version of this. In generally, I really like it but has a LOT of limitations. It's better for still than video, by far, as a side note. For close-focus, it's fantastic. This is already one of my favorite close-focus lenses.

I had this one too, edge performance is great as fisheye lens.
Yes close focus is sharp
I like the #1
you playing with filter on #3?

Very nice, especially the wide angle macro!

Thank you, Klaus and Iaza. THis has been a fun lens to learn. It's been fun to play with for video, too.

For the third image, I took a test shot with the yellow filter and in post ran an automatic color balance. That turned it from yellow to warn-sunset-old film. I tried the same with the orange filter but the results was just orange, and lots of magenta fringing.

Looks good. Really like the first shot.

Really nice. Besides the lens quality, the first picture has a great composition and it's very well lightened.
The only issue is a bit of halo on the topleft branches, maybe excessive sharpening there?.
Second and third are also nice. Filtering usually can be better done on p.p. but in this case the yellowish tint gets perfect.

very well done.
I appreciate much all of them, but the composition of the first is super....
