Anyone have any experiences with this lens? very tempted by the killer price ($130'ish) but kinda scared of "its too good to be true" Please if you have any d90 or comparable DSLR experience please share feelings and footage/photos. Thanks!!!
 
im sure it wont autofocus.. not sure if it will meter. I have read places that its a decent lens. quality of the picture would be up to you on how high is your standard
 
I've been considering one myself. There is some talk about it on some photography forums. Apparently there are some quality control issues out of the factory. some lenses are very good others not so great. If you buy from a seller with a good return policy then it might be worth it. the best price i've seen is $109 on ebay. there is some footage on youtube shot with an arsat on a hv30 and diy dof adapter. it's a manual focus (ai) lens made in russia/ukraine.
 
id stick with a nikon 24mm instead since the difference isnt that big. atleast you get quality. i think someone here is sellinga 24mm for 250. thats a steal.
