Great lens! Make sure to upgrade firmware
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.AMAZING LENS! (I have Sony a7iii) This will give you that cinematic focal length with amazing blurry background ! Paired this up with a polarizer filter and it’s amazing. Bought the lens July of 2021 and came updated to version 3.0. I’d recommend updating if it’s not at least 3

Great lense by Sony
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing quality, good for vlogs and very strong and stable
I would recommend this to a friendGood for beginners
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good lens if its your first prime lens. The autofocus is not the best but gets the job done. Its comparatively lite and easy to carry. Just keep in mind that this is not a APS-C lens so you should consider the crop factor and you wouldnt exactly get 50mm.
I would recommend this to a friendSolid but save for a better lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Make no mistake, you can capture some wonderful photos with this lens, but even in minimal low light, it will hunt like crazy and you'll probably have to go to manual focus. This lens is very situational. It's good for portraiture, landscapes and anything that doesn't require you to be fast, but I wouldn't use it for events, sports or wildlife.
