Few of my concerns about this product before the purchase:
1) "Third party" quality build, sharpness, looks
2) Manual focus and aperture setting
3) Image distortion
1) This is a Korean lens I actually think it has better built than my L lenses. There is very little focusing involved because past 5 feet, it's infinity. But, everytime I use the focusing ring, it's a pleasure to use. Also, it looks better than the L lens. Image is super sharp even to the outermost corners. BTW, I'm using it on Canon 7D. Even the hood and the lens cap are of high quality.
I like EVERYTHING about this lens.
2) I just set it to infinity and do not touch the focusing ring. For aperture ring, I set it to 5.6 inside and 18 outside. Set it to P and camera will set the correct shutter speed. Those of you who never used manual focus lens DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY! You'll figure it out within in 1/2 hour.
3) Image distortion It's rather pleasing. It also adds to the creative dimension to your image. Look at Gene Ho's youtube video on Art of Fisheye and you'll get lot of ideas of how to creatively use this lens.
If you are considering buying this product, you won't regret it.
