Getting rid of my 30mm 1.4 prime. I brought it second-hand to decide about the focal length before selling up DSLR stuff and getting a X100t (or getting the new Art 35mm 1.4).

It's an....ok... lens. When it focusses correctly, it's great, but I spent a long time using micro-adjust to correct it, and whilst I got it to work for most portrait lengths (with -7), it would then miss at longer and shorter distances. Reports around the web are it's hit-and-miss and varies on the body it's mounted too... For studio/tripod work, it's not really an issue as you can just focus with live view. As I said, it's very sharp, especially stopped down, and f/1.4 is super fast  - really liked the length on the cropped body too.

I paid £160 for it including RMSD, so as near-an offer to that as possible would be great :D
