    This is a good affordable lens for the Sony E camera line. I have used it for several occasions and have never been disappointed in the sharpness and quality of the pictures it produced. A definite keeper in my lens collection.

    Perfect for full frame portrait lens very, very Sharp but leaves some close detail out so you do not have to in post. It is unassuming when seen on the camera so you can get a shot from a distance or it is not overbearing to those in front of it. Like no one pays attention to you or the camera like you are invisible in the crowd BUT you get those amazing shots.
