I found that this iens is indeed very good and very inexpensive, but to get the best results you need to stop it down to f/4.5-5.6 and be very careful of flare. i get tired of the FE effect pretty fast. So while it was fun to use now and then, I sold it later to someone else who wanted to experiment with it.
