    Best focal length

    Perfect balance between 35mm and 50mm. You can compose wide photos for street photography kinda close to what you could do with a 35mm lens and allso use it as a portrait lens like a 50mm. Paired it with my A7Cii, which is the best everyday carry camera. The lens is sharp, very versatile and very lightweight considering it has a focus ring, aperture ring which you could turn on and off the click mechanism, autofocus and manual focus switch and a custom button. It packs a lot of feature in a very small package and great value for the price.

    Excellent lens from Sony

    This is definitely an excellent lens from Sony! I use this lens with my Sony A7Riii and the picture details are amazing. I also use this lens with Sony's Clearimage function where this prime lens turns into a zoom lens without losing any sharpness or picture detail. Amazing all around lens!

    Great lens

    Crisp images with a smooth focus for recording video. Good for wider street shots that you can easily crop down cleanly later

    Prime meets Primary

    This prime lens is my absoluate go-to and always docked onto my Sony Alpha A7IV. The kitty cam has never looked as crisp. I bought this as opened box 8 months ago and would rate it just the same if bought full retail.
