Very first impressions:
+ it's extremely sharp
+ it's very well built
+ it's surprisingly compact
+ it covers 24x36mm frame (even the box says: Digital & Film)
+ it's weather-proofed
+ the front lens is placed a bit inside the barrel (barrel end acts like
a short hood)
+ manual focusing is smooth and firm
0 nice metal barrel screams for Limited-style front cap
0 the bayonet hood is plastic, not metal
0 49mm filter size (it seems that several quality brands start from 52mm
size nowadays)
- as it's screw-drive-only, the focusing is slow
- there is no focus distance limiter (which makes focusing even slower)
- there is no aperture ring
- inner (extending) barrel is plastic
