This particular lens is an excellent one. I had one for about a year and I loved it. It was exceptionally sharp and contrasty. The optics are excellent. On the down side it was somewhat heavy and was prone to flare (inherent problem with most wide angle fisheyes) since there really isn't much of a lens hood. The rear filters are of good quality but they are also somewhat limiting. Only a UV, blue, yellow, and orange filter come with this lens and there does not seem to be any other types available. If you don't mind the weight and the flare problem then go for it. It's an excellent bargain.
