GH4 is a joy and very precise thanks
The focus ring is smooth and pleasant to turn as well
much sharper wide open

focal reducer is a fraction of the price of the competition
The aperture values are not equally distant on the ring
flares can be pretty invasive with this lens

Mitakon 42.5mm f/1.2 - Pros & Cons

GH4 is a joy and very precise thanks
The focus ring is smooth and pleasant to turn as well
much sharper wide open
stabilized and can of course auto focus
solid and well-built
make it easy to shoot compelling lifestyle images

focal reducer is a fraction of the price of the competition
The aperture values are not equally distant on the ring
flares can be pretty invasive with this lens
the lens is quite soft at that aperture
It s nothing dramatic just a little bit uncomfortable
white blurred edges or blurred distorted edges
you might not need a super sharp lens for video or portraits
Not much info on it
The aperture numbers are meaningless
