Best value portrait lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great, reasonably priced portrait lens for Sony full frame mirrorless cameras. Minimum focus distance is fairly far, so definitely don’t try using this for any macro work, but it’s outstanding for portraits.
