I have read good things about it.

And I have ordered a new adapter with af-confirm from photobits42

There is way too much uncertainity about this lense.
While a few swore that its a beautiful lense that can match ziess vario, There are others who are not too impressed.
Some one needs to crack this, who are the real manufacturers of this lenses & maybe if possible the serial numbers too :P
I am trying for one too..

First test. The light is crap so that's not the lenses fault. It feels very good, but I don't have time at the moment to get a hold of better lights, maybe tonight I can shoot some things in the softbox.
