This lens is very small and very lightweight. However this one is not
really compatible with full frame sensors, there is heavy vignetting
(particularly on upper right edge, but also down left; this doesn't
disappear stopping down) and it has some colour cast. Without clear
blue skies the problems become less visible, a bit of cropping lets the
corners disappear and produces nice very wide images with a nostalgic
image impression. Carefully aligned there is nearly no distortion.
It delivered
beautiful images on film with a Bessa L. It's nice with a Sony A6000.
There is a new version III of this lens, made for full frame sensors,
but the new one is much bigger and heavier, hence less attractive.
