I am using this lens quite often. Weight, inconspicuousness, quality... lot of things in favor of it. I discovered the equivalent focal length on APSC using 28 mm a lot. I often felt quite cramped on full frame with a fifty. All the more when you realize that most of them are indeed 52 to 55 mm focal length. Often 35 mm was too wide and I had to crop a bit.
So I bought a 45. In fact I quickly bought a second. I was disappointed since both were tilted. It does not hurt too much since prices are quite acceptable.
The third one was well centered and with a focal plane parallel to the sensor. I will keep it.
This lens is less good in the corners on flat field subject because of field curvature. Maybe an interesting lens to test on a Nikon Z or on Sony with a Kolari modified sensor. However you can take care of that by closing to f5,6. If you focus for the corners at wide apertures results are quite good.

Air was filled with sand coming from the Sahara. This reduced contrast in the distance causing an important contrast difference between foreground and background.

I had to buy three copies to find a good one. On the latest I realised that a set of three screws held pressed the rear optical block and that they were not properly screwed which resulted, when corrected, in a transition from bad to excellent. So I recommend owners of bad copies to check this issue since it is an easy fix. _________________ Lumens Pixel
