I think the slating of some lenses has to be put in context. For example not all of us need blistering AF performance and Wilkinson Sword sharpness. Just good enough will d nicely and I'll be happy enough to leave those who need the last possible degree of performance to their G masters or Sigma Arts
This is the thing, I don't slate the people who buy every single lens that appears only to sell it on 5 minutes later They are the ones who keep the used market afloat and we get their hand me downs eventually - just as the cheap as chips lens market keeps the actual cameras themselves alive. Because if Sony were depending solely on the G master buyers to keep sales up they'd not be where they are. I bet there's way more people adapting their old Canon gear and buying Samyang lenses by a long ways.
Because my £40 knock off does what I need it to. Impressed by that stabilisation though.
You must have struck lucky, I bought one of the many £40 ones for our daughter for Christmas and it's awful, it's pretty much an ornament in her room now as her phone takes much better video.
