    75mm equivalent fast prime for Sony APSC cameras. Works well as a semi-wide portrait lens. OSS helps too.

    I have been trying to find a good camera lens for a long time, and all my research led me to this product. I was not disappointed at all. As a film major in college, I needed the best equipment. This fits the bill completely.

      Posted .

      Hello Brjab, Thank you for your feedback on this lens. Sony commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. Its great to hear you are loving this lens. Due to its "prime" nature this lens does not zoom. Being a prime or fixed focal length allows the lens to be compact, sharp and fast in aperture. There are a wide selection of zoom lenses for E-mount that you can check out to see which ranges fits your need. Thank you again, happy shooting. -Linda Sony Social Support Sony_US
