    Going from my camera's factory lens to this one was at first a little strange, but after about an hour with it. Wow. Amazing photos. Absolutely love it. Highly recommend.

    This is the best lens to buy after a kit lens. It is sharp and allows you to get background separation.

    This lens is great. And i love it. Only downside is that the camera i use it on (Sony a5100) is a piece of garbage and i would not ever recommend that camera to anyone ever. Sony had the worst customer service in the world and i regret ever buying the camera. I do not know if this lens can be used in any other camera. I would sadly not recommend any Sony product to anyone period.

    Optically, this is a really solid lens. My main complaint is that the focusing is kinda loud. Other than that, it’s a pretty good buy.
