Users Complain About

• ✗Manual focus only—requires precision and practice for consistent results, which can be frustrating for some users.
• ✗The f/3.2 maximum aperture is relatively narrow, limiting light‑gathering capability in low‑light situations.
• ✗A noticeable learning curve; the tilting mechanism and focus control demand more active engagement than autofocus lenses.
• ✗The slice‑of‑focus effect requires intentional compositional planning, reducing spontaneity.
• ✗Effect may not suit fast‑moving subjects because the setup demands deliberate positioning and focus adjustment.
