construction of this lens is probably just a little bit higher end than the 50 mil although they both use composites on the exterior or as some people like to say plastics but they both use composites on the exterior and in the end of course they both have metallic mounts that is a problem for some…

able to get out of most vintage glass and so it's an interesting option for those of you that are looking for a really inexpensive lens for street or maybe you've not really played with a manual focus lens much and you want to experiment with a 50 mm focal length well this is an easy way to do so

This little lens optically is swell, mechanically it feels really crappy.
