Facts
- the strangest lens: strange to use and you get strange results
- estimated retail price 200 EUR for the base and double class optic
- in my use from 1/2010 to current date
- I currenlty have the base, double class optic, single class optic, soft focus optic and the creative aperture kit
Pros
- if you are looking for something different then this could be it
- is not a toy
- rather nice images in terms of colors, contrast and sharpness compared to the toyish appearance of the lens
- swappable optics means that you can do a lot with this lens
- the base and double class optic is a good starting package since double class optic is often the most useful optic
Cons
- you have to invest not only money, you have to invest time to learn
- is 111 percent manual: focusing is manual and aperture disks (black rings) are changed manually
- the swappable optics means that you can can keep on buying more and more
