It looks well made and compact, too bad about the missing aperture ring though. It would be nice to see some full-size examples to get a better idea about the image quality.

This is the same thing as the new Samsung lenses, no aperture ring, so all Samyang and Samsung have to change is the mount for non-Fuji APS-C and MFT cameras to use the same lens.

The examples I uploaded were full sized jpegs and if you click on one, it brings you into the gallery where supposedly, you can see the image at 100% plus use the loop or zoom. I know a lot of people complain about the quality of their images after being uploaded to DPR but give the gallery tools a try.

I did. Your images were not uploaded full-size, not even close - they only 1280 pixels on the long side.

I found the culprit. I store all my photos in Apple Photos and Photos cannot directly send files to DPR, and this is DPR, because I can send them everywhere else. So I have to export the jpegs to a file folder on my hard drive and then upload them to DPR from there and I just found a well hidden option to send them full size versus large, medium or small. I can't edit my original post once anybody responds to it so I'm downloading full size copies and putting them below.

Typically prefer my woodlands looking as natural as possible, I can't say I'm too keen on the color recipe here. The lens seems sharp in the center, but significantly less so around the periphery. does it sharpen up up when stopped down a bit?
