This lens is very sharp and takes great pictures (when paired with the right photographer). The Sony A6x00 series cameras make great use of this lens to focus quickly with minimal barrel distortion. This is a 45mm Prime equivalent when paired with the APSc sensor. It's a bit longer than the kit lens, but nicer in all other respects. Due to the 24M sensor on the A6000, it can be used in nearly every situation as you can crop 50% of the image and still get a nice, detailed image for an 8x10 print. It has a 52mm filter thread, a little larger than the kit lenses, but comparable to many 35mm lenses you may have sitting around. At 1.4, it's still fast, but focusing is a bit less accurate. 2.0 will give you nice background blur while still being easy to use without manual focus. The metal and plastic body look like it's made to last. I hope to be enjoying this lens for years to come.

When I bought this it was an exchange for the 50mm Sony 1.8f. I lived that lens but with a a6400 the 50mm was hard to get shots and had to step back considerably. The 30mm on the sigma is absolutely perfect for me. The pictures and 4k videos turn out incredibly sharp and good looking with fabulous bokeh. This is easily the best standard lens in its class and if you were on the fence like I was, get this lens you will not regret it.

This is a really good lens and amazing value for the price. It makes very sharp images. The only thing i dislike about this lens is the purple fringing is more noticeable then some of my other lenses but for the price to performance this lens is definitely worth it. I shot both pictures that i am uploading on this lens and i like both of them.

A 50mm equivalent lens this lens is great for Portrait photography. The images are super sharp with the really pretty and smooth bokeh

This maybe the sharpest lens i have in my arsenal. Great Bokeh.
