Decent Cheap Lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

I would recommend this to a friend Very sharp but also loud
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great lens for photography but mediocre for videography. The lens is sharp but it will often hunt for focus while using the autofocus. Also the focusing motors are LOUD. I ultimately returned this lens because it was hunting for focus and the motors were so darn loud

Posted .Hi Chungus,
Sony commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority.
Thanks for this feedback. There could be reasons why the lens is hunting for focus. Your subject may be getting beyond the lens' minimum focusing distance. It could also be that there is not enough light when you were shooting. We'd like to hear more about this and also know what camera you were using. Please contact our phone support at 239-245-6360 so we can assist you.
Regards,
Larry
