1. I have one to go with my FX-3, which makes up for a very nice and
lightweight system. I use it near swimming pools, on the beach, and
other places where I don't want to lug around (and put at risk) my
``real'' gear.
2. I had to take it apart in order to clean the aperture blades (the
blades stuck because some grease had gotten onto them). This
inside look left me with a good impression of the lens innards - I
couldn't discover any significant parts in plastic, everything was
metal and looked well-built. I can't complain about its sharpness,
I think it is a very fine lens.
3. Some say tests shown much worse performance than the Zeiss 50/1.4,
others say it was almost as good. In any case, this is quite an
expensive piece of glass, almost as expensive as the Zeiss version
- I'd opt for the latter if I was going to spend a lot of money on
a 50mm...
4. Still available.
