But even the blue ring lenses have no spring aperture, no EXIF and how about clickstops? I'm not pissed - I lost a bit money and gained some wisdom. 
And: Tamron, Sigma, (these for sure) Tokina, Samyang (?) don't force me to send a lens to China to repair it. They have repair contractors here in Europe. I also remember the ordering process to be a bit doubtful, I got advice like "put low value on customs declaration"- typical Chinese betrayal behaviour, simply illegal. I'm sorry and I'm not the person who loves spending lots of money on taxes - but I'm certainly a person who loves to live in a country and get some benefits out of the taxes I paid. Laowa has a different business idea - if I don't like it I have to stay away from them.
