I'm really sad Canon doesn't allow third-party full-frame AF lenses on their mirrorless models unless you adapt them from EF, for which many new lenses aren't built anymore and using pancakes with an adapter would completely eliminate the benefit of pancake lenses. :( Nice lens though!
@@thomasfransson Can you tell if the hexagonal "aperture" on it is in front of the glass element or instead housed within the two elements? If just in front then I'm tempted to tinker once mine arrives!

Thank you Amit!

True, I think they made a mistake there. Let's hope they open up RF
Super nice! I've seen some people check sunstars on lenses by shooting at bright high street lights if that's any help.
That's a great idea, I should have tried that. Thank you.
Only for Sony mount?
At the moment yes. They might add Z and L once the initial production is slowing down.
I wonder if it's possible to open that thing up and remove the solid aperture they installed and if so, what it would do to the image...
I'm not sure if there's any regular aperture blades in there. Since it's a fixed aperture. Might have to break out the Dremel ;)

Looks like it's on the front.
If they add an L mount version every S9 owner on the planet will buy one.
Ooh! Yeah that's gonna be a sweet combo!
