A great versatile lens
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A great versatile lens with it's F1.8 aperture can photograph the night sky or do extreme close-ups at a minimum focus range of about 4 inches which makes it great for things like flower photography
I would recommend this to a friend Great Lens for the Price
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m take enjoying this lens paired with the Sony FX30. Even when shooting in low light with the shutter cranked to 450, the video came out really clean. Have not tested on my full frame camera yet
I would recommend this to a friendFun little lens!

Great lense wrong size
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this lenses not realizing that it was an APC lens. But it worked great on my A7vi with the crop in 4k 60. The Auto focus works great also. I did return it only to get the 16-55mm G lens

Not bad, but inferior to Viltrox 13mm F1.4
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens shines for it's compact form factor, portability, and native Sony auto focus. However, the Viltrox 13mm F1.4 is sharper, has superior bokek and shallower depth of field, almost as fast auto focus. The 13mm has less distortion, looks more natural than 11mm. Above all the Viltrox provides that superior picture and video quality at a lower price of around $360. It is a bigger and heavier lens with excellent all metal build quality, and feels more premium than the mostly plastic Sony 11mm. I returned the Sony after receiving fhe Viltrox and comparing them side by side. I also own the full frame Sony 20mm F1.8 G lens (w Sony A7 III, and the Viltrox (w Sony zv-e10 II) trades blows with it despite being a much cheaper APSC lens on a much cheaper APSC camera.

Dont ship, pick up items
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The actual product is great but the hassle I had to go through to get it was a huge inconvenience. I’ve tried to get Best Buy to ship via UPS I have trouble with FedEx in my area. First package goes “lost”; they promise me one a location had it in stock and that I could go get it. 1 hour commute one way, just for them to tell me I couldn’t get it becuase they’re system hasn’t cleared it and it was a huge ordeal had them ship it again a week later. Customer service hung up on me twice out of 6 different calls as well unprofessional and very disappointed. Will be buying elsewhere from now on. Poor packaging as well for a very expensive lens.
