Chinese lenses, especially with autofocus, are like the toddlers on the photographic market (compared to giants like Europeans, Zeiss, Leica, Hassleblad, etc or Japanese, Olympus, Canon, Nikon, Sony/Minolta, Panasonic).I'm not entirely sure what your comment is about - but my goal in using this lens was to challenge myself, in using a prime, and length I probably don't shoot at much ...... I've had the Oly 12 - 100 f4 attached to the M5 Mk3 almost always since I bought it. Makes one lazy .....![]()

The community tends to be more resilient in adoption newcomers like Xiaomi, Samyang, Lowa, Irix, etc ... It can be a rarity to see them in the wild or shared in the metadata, not necessarily a bad thing.
Samsung is one of the highest profile of photographic community rejection/adoption.

I really like what you're doing with it - and it seems to be a lot of fun. I can relate - medium telephoto is a very rewarding focal range; plus the lens can obviously hold its own.
