Great lens!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The lens is absolutely amazing. It takes solid pictures and focuses very well. I have an older camera that it doesn't zoom out well with because of the older features of the camera but I just have to adjust the equipment further back and it's everything I ask for in a picture.

I would recommend this to a friendMust have
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely a must have. Paired it with my Sony A7iii and it takes very crisp images. I do a lot of various types of photography from portraits to automotive. Very versatile. It’s going to be mostly preference between the 50 and an 85mm and based on your needs. I say well worth it.

I would recommend this to a friendGood for the price!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Auto focus is loud, sometimes slow and it hunts quite a bit in low light. However, the picture quality is pretty good and for the price you can't really complain.

Outstanding Value
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price, it is an outstanding value. I got it for 200 bucks on Black Friday, and it is by far the best impulse purchase I've ever bought. The autofocus is loud, and not the best I've seen. But the quality is top notch. The photos that this thing takes are outstanding.
