    This is such a super lens that it stays on my camera A7II most of the time. Light, cheap and super sharp.

    Great all purpose lens. If you can only afford to get one lens this would be the way to go for Sony. Not a fan for video use.

    The image quality when paired with my Sony A7ii is respectable. However, the auto-focus capability is dismal. It is adequate for static shots in bright light. When trying to capture a moving subject in AF-C, MANY of the shots will have missed focus. There is quite a bit of hunting as well in low light. I would skip this lens and save for a better 50 or 55mm lens.
