Excellent image quality, superb build, manual lens rings feel super-smooth in use, "macro" lens position, f/2.0 aperture produces sublime bokeh, great LCD screen with white dot layer, loads of customisation options, in-camera correction and picture effect
Some chromatic aberrations in images, small degree of barrel noise, autofocus isn't the fastest out there, limited battery life, no lock/light for exposure compensation dial, no built-in ND filter, unavoidable expense, no viewfinder included (expensive to

Lens is not swoppable
