Don't go into this expecting any sort of optical perfection, they all have issues but that's part of the fun. My 25mm has loads of barrel distortion, easy enough to fix in LR if you want to (I just have a preset that applies the fix in one click). That said the images I posted the other day don't have that correction applied and they look fine to me. But for £69 you honestly can't go wrong. Buy from Amazon and you've got 30 days to return it if you don't like it. I love shooting with it and just embrace the flaws. The flare can look good in certain images if you use it right. I did buy a cheap lens hood but it doesn't achieve much.
Here's some more I took with the 25mm f2 on holiday, using the Pacific Blues film recipe. These really look like they were shot on film to me.
I shoot in raw, but like "Classic Neg" simulation, but I apply that in Lightroom.
