My Kamlan 50mm F/1.1 arrived today, which was a lot earlier than expected. I'll post a more detailed review later, but initial impressions after playing around with it for an hour or so are very positive. I am really enjoying the bokeh and shallow DOF. I also received my 50mm F/1.8 STM and Canon EF adapter, and that is another incredible combination. I'm happy I bought both and they fulfill totally different needs. More soon (including sample photos, photos with lenses mounted on my M6, etc.).

How's manual focusing on with it? I imagine f1.1 to be super shallow so getting sharp photos might be a challenge.
