How each score was set
Usability 5.8 /10
From published features and owner comments · not a lab test.
- Specs published8.0/10
- Five of six printed: E/L/RF/Z mounts, 35/50/75mm T2.9, manual focus, weight (469 g for the 35mm E) and length (102.9 mm). Weather sealing is not stated and Digital Camera World lists none.
- Warranty and repairs6.0/10
- Free replacement within 3 years for non-human defects, which is long; but the 30-day return is once, buyer pays round-trip shipping to a service centre, and only US and EU qualify.
- Firmware and compatibility4.0/10
- Two of five: a mount list on the page and no app or firmware needed on a manual cine lens. No manual download or compatibility chart was read.
- Price and extras5.0/10
- $599 per lens, shipping 'calculated at checkout' with no free-shipping line on the page; no accessories are required, a 3-lens kit is sold separately.
- Support and owner reports5.0/10
- A service email and warranty card in the box; no posted hours. No owner threads were read, only reviewers and brand-quoted creators.
