    This is my favorite everyday carry lens. Portable and compact. My family loves to party and I am their unofficial photographer which I enjoyed ever since i have acquired this lens. So sharp and very light. Easy to carry around. Looking forward to our Christmas party and the pictures that I am going to take.

    Love this lens. If you're looking for a sharp and compact lens this is it. Main reason for purchasing was for the portability otherwise I'd have considered the 35 gm as well. Really happy with my purchase. This will be my goto setup when im on the run.

    I really like the lens because it forces the photographer to get up and close with the subject and take better pictures. It did take some adjusting, but I’m glad I went with this one over the stock lens for my Alpha 7iii.

    I’ve used this lens for everything from weddings to music videos. Looks great on a gimbal, auto focus is quick, and it’s decent bokeh for a “wide angle”

    This is the first prime lens I got for my Sony A7iii. It is lightweight and small and in my opinion, a perfect size for my camera. After using it for a while now, I can say it is a high quality lens and very sharp.
