Our expert comment:
This little lens plays in the big leagues and is right up there with ZEISS, Leica and Swarovski. The sturdy, waterproof metal housing fits comfortably in the hand. The edge sharpness and colour fidelity of the optics are excellent. The diopter adjustment is made via the internal focusing and is state-of-the-art.
