If you can pay 800 on a lens you can pay 1100, too and get the real deal.
LOL.
if you pay $300, you can certainly pay $1300 :-)
Then lens looks alright. 800 is still a lot of money, pay 300 more and you get the voigtländer. If you can pay 800 on a lens you can pay 1100, too and get the real deal.

Found some more pictures on the web. Lots of purple fringing, and like I suspected, it's not an easy piece of glass to use.
I sold my Nokton .95 because I couldn't master it on corporate shoots, where time and resource are of the essence. Admittedly, this Chinese glass comes nowhere near the Voigtlander.
The bokeh reminds me of some old German lens - the Isco Gottingen that I used to own, crumpled paper look. It's not nervous breakdown, it has its charm.
My concern is why does the image look so washed out? Is it CCTV glass? How much is the lens by the way? If it costs below $350, well, i would buy it
@B3Guy Voigtländer = creamy bokeh, this lens = nervous breakdown bokeh :)

No...manual focus.
...is this an AF lens?
