The lens makes a very cheap impression when you hold it in your hand, almost feels like a toy. In addition, the lens hood does not lock properly which is made of extremely low-quality plastic. The lens has a very strong vignetting which is known. The AF on the other hand is very fast and the price is also very good. In addition, the lens is very compact and also very light which is why it is practical for travel or the gimbal.

Is surprisingly sharp already from open aperture. Even the edges are still pretty sharp and only the extreme corners are flat. My Samyang 24mm is well centered. The optical quality is much better than I expected given the light weight and modest price.
Of course, the lens is mostly plastic, or it wouldn't be so light.
Autofocus is fast. Hardly prone to flare.
If you want higher optical or manufacturing quality you have to spend several times more for it and lug around several times more weight.
