"The build quality is the best I've ever seen in my many decades of photography. Even if you never took a picture with it, it would still be a work of art"

"The quality of the lense construction is great, very sturdy and the lense cap is made out of metal, giving me a lot of confidence to take out on the field. I use it for architecture shots ... scenic shots -- it does great."

"Like all other fisheye lenses, just be careful not to include your fingertips in your image, it is so easy to make this mistake!"
