Really wonder what is gimmick about it.I think the "low" price sets some expectations to a level where potential buyers may be suspicious of its quality. Like cheap wine can't be good and all expensive wine must be good.
Low price = crap quality = toy = gimmickInterestingly just two days ago I made a blind test in the Phillipreeve Discord asking people which of two pictures of the same scene they prefer.
Result ended up being 6:1 in favour of the Mr. Ding lens. The other lens was the Leica 50mm 0.95.
Perfect! Yeah, it's ironic, how skewed expectations and interpretations can be in normal life and then in a blind test all goes out the window. I personally would really like this lens, given a good copy, but will remain a pipe dream considering my location.

I have been interested, and my son is happy with the older, cheaper Sony version, but to fork out $400 for a gimmick 50mm to have essentially sitting jobless next to my other 50mms is a bit over the top budget-wise.Low price = crap quality = toy = gimmick
