Well, a lens that will certainly find its way into peoples camerabags.
Nevertheless ... when doing the images the guy in the link did, it
becomes aparent how difficult a manual focussed lens is. Doing
the same thing with a 5D and a EF 85/1.8 (which is about the same
field of view and about the same depth of field ... you have to boost
iso by 1.5 stops) would give the same sort of images much easier.
Likely the rate of focus-hits would be dramatically increased, so
would be image-sharpness. ...
But eventuelly you would have less fun taking the images. Using
manual fokus (and manual aperture) lenses has its own magic (at least to me).
Just my 2cts ... Rainer
