    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.

    This lens is a portrait photographers baby. I enjoy this focal length as it brings in more background into the frame. This lens is also good for close up macro like shots on items. Great lens for value and my go to lens for majority of my shoots!
