Good quality for the price!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price, this nifty fifth lens has the goods! Shot this with my Sony Alpha 1 body for a birthday party in low light and it was stellar! Can’t go wrong with this purchase!
I would recommend this to a friendNice prime for the price!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice prime lens with incredible optics for the price! Recommended only for the full frame lineup, for APSC cameras it turns into an 80mm from the 1.6x crop factor, which is only useful for macro photography
I would recommend this to a friendBest all round lens
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best lens I’ve had so far, I use it for all my videos and photography since I got it
