New Lens

Picked up a 35mm lens the other day and wow this thing is just super sharp wide open compared to my 50mm. Stop this lens down and it's bound to hurt someone.

 

A few things that I found sort of off on this lens was the fact that the outer barrel was made out of engineered plastic, lack of proper weather sealing and oh gosh I don't like the AF/MF switch they used and prefer the flat switches on their other lenses.

 

Other than those few issues, which will most likely be addressed on the Mark II version this lens is just crazy fun.
