lenses for ages
diffraction is slightly visible from f/11 and increases

graduated neutral density filter or a polarising filter

the lens is a bit less expensive
distortion for a fixed focal length lens
practically no vignetting in the jpg test shots
the hood cannot be reversed for storage or transport
chromatic aberration in the form of blue and red color fringing at the edges
more expensive and about a stop slower

The Samsung 45mm f/1.8 is a fast, sharp lens, but its field of view is a bit too long to be a standard-angle and a bit too short to be considered telephoto.
