The grip is a Case Logic grip attached to a Manfrotto 200PL style quick
release plate, a special plate made by HorusBennu for their grips. It
allows you to use the camera, with the grip attached, on a Manfrotto
RC2 Rapid Connect Adapter.

Closest focus is only 36cm from
outermost
edge of the lens, F 8. Focus on
the program wheel of the camera.
Already
wide open
picture sharpness is o.k., my lens has scratches on the front and dirt
inside. So the haze at F 1.8 is most probably due to this (I got it for
next to nothing). Stopped
down it's fine. Have a look at the full resolution image
at F 8 and you know what I mean. The lens has good close focussing
capablities. At F 22 there is only a little bit
of diffraction, which is much better
than other lenses. Diffraction is a problem of the APS-C sensor size,
not the
lens (see comparison page).
Konica
AR lenses are 40.5mm FFD. This is shorter than most of the others,
except M39. So the adapters are shorter as well. On top of this, AR
lenses are very compact. It's a small and lightweight lens and it is
cheap. A
good lens for the A6000 with one stop more than average.
