From the mounts available and no contacts the lens is obviously meant for mirrorless bodies where dark viewfinders aren't an issue.

I would guess the only thing in its favour over the Irix 150mm would be price.

I always found putting the camera into live view and pressing the autofocus button a few times worked best.
