Anybody had the chance to try this lens?
It's quite inexpensive and I was wondering if it's any good for landscapes.

No, but it has not got a very good reputation for focus accuracy or contrast. In theory it is very similar to the KM/Tamron but has never been as well regarded. I used one many years ago in its previous film version.

I thought so. It was too good to be true :)

Thanks!
