I don’t get the point of this, frequently it struggles to focus, image is not as good as the bundled lens that my Sony ZV-E10 came with. I’ll be returning it.

I use it in a NEX-7 primarily for RC video, weight is critical, that's why I chose it.

I recommend only for photos. I’ve you are planning any video, I’d recommend a better lens. Even just because of its auto focus. It is very noisy. I could hear it clicking away.

This lens has only manual focus. It’s hard to focus and I don’t recommend it. I prefer a wide angle lens with autofocus with a variable focal length.
