Customers are saying

    This is a great all around lens. It is definitely not a light weight lens though. Gives sharp clear images.

    Great for photo but... If you are a video shooter or content creator looking for a lens that is good for both photo and video stay away from this lens because the focus breathing is absolutely horrendous it has ruined a ton of shots. I will be picking up the 35mm 1.8 instead. If Sony adds focus breathing compensation to the A7Siii / FX3 then this lens would be usable for video but until then I will be using something else with my FX3 and A7c. If you are shooting on the Sony A7iv then this is irrelevant since that camera body does have Focus Breathing Compensation.

    The lense is AMAZING. review is more about the store . Have spent 20k this year alone . All my items are less then 24 months old , had a small simple issue fixed - vs the store manger in Ocala arguing and end of day not replacing a 40 phone screen . Mamger in ocala should def not manage anything.
