Impressive lightweight Sharpness is a little dissapointing as compared to the demonstration footage on Youtube. For the money spent, it is worth the buy.
The converter for Pentax can only be nudged a little, and does not feel as it is in grip, since there is no substitution for the grip into the k-lock.

not great but ok, does the job, good value for the money Simple, all metal construction though could be a bit better. Image quality is ok but not outstanding. Does the job most of the times, is impressively lightweight, good value for money.
