👎 Cons
- Compatibility is limited, with many older Nikon DSLR models and all film cameras being incompatible
- Requires a firmware update for some compatible cameras to ensure full functionality, adding a setup step
- The maximum aperture of f/4.5-6.3 can be restrictive in low-light conditions, potentially requiring higher ISO or slower shutter speeds
