    This lens is very small and light. It focuses fast. The only negative part is the purple fringe issue.

    Absolutely love this lens. I am not a professional, just wanted something to take decent photos of the family & random activities. We use this on a Sony A6400, if you have a cropped sensor camera 10/10 recommend this lens to get a similar feel of a 50mm on a full frame. The 1.8 FE makes this lens worth it to get those smooth blurry backgrounds.

    Love how this small and compact lens shoots. It has a focus hold button and attached to my A7M3 is a wonderful combination. This lens was well worth the price.
