amazing lens, lightweight small design
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best lightweight lenses for the Sony Emount system. It's tack sharp and pairs well with my other prime lenses that I take to shoots. Im surprised it's not a GM series lens with the build quality and picture quality it produces on my A1.

Great walk-around lens for hikes
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was my main and only lens for a recent hiking trip to Sedona and the Grand Canyon. It's super fast so I knew that I could get the shot in any lighting situation and then zoom (crop) in post. I wanted a single no-fuss lens to handle the wide gorgeous stuff, the normal people posing in front of cool things stuff, and even some close-up and almost macro stuff. This lens delivered.

Not sure if it is value for money.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The lense has quite some features compared to my existing samyang f1.4 lense. But the pictures were comparatively better with the $250 samyang one. I missed the 14 days return window so cant do anything now but one thing that I wont regret is the size and weight. It's smaller and ligter than the cheaper lense. I am learning so I might be doing something wrong but that doesn't make my snaps by samyang any better.

Better than Tamron 17-28mm
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m sure everyone who considers a wide angle from Sony is considering this lens or the tamron 17-28mm. I can tell you with 100% confidence this lens is the better option! Still wide enough for real estate and vlogging and the wide aperture helps with low light! Very sharp lens!

G, for Great!

Now, it's the a74. Most of my pictures with this lens become my screen savers. I bought this lens on a crop sensor at the time because it was within my price range and have no regrets.
