Sharp and bright high quality lens
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great quality from Sony Very sharp and bright lens. I like the aperture ring and that you have the option to be able to move it on click or continuous. Ultra fast and quiet focus for video recording without that annoying focus motor noise.

Small and powerful lens!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Small yet so much potential within a lense. You have the freedom to do so many styles of photography/videography while having that feeling of reliability. Pictures come out so crisp and videos are so smooth.

Love this lens!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this lens! I bought it after reading excellent professional reviews. I am very happy with the purchase. Very sharp, has very shallow depth of field when wide open. Nice colors. Works great with my Sony alpha 7iii, has fast focus. Great for architecture, real estate.

Best Overall Travel Lens
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great travel lens! Although it's a full frame lens, I use it on an A-6400 with the expectation to move to full frame. It is the perfect focal length for travel and plenty sharp.

Well crafted quality lens.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well crafted lens that shows good quality images through the entire center range of the lens. Very little or easily mitigated distortion on the outside edges. A bit on the heavy side for a prime lens but build quality makes up for it.

Must have lens for landscape photographers!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great lens for landscape photography. The glass is excellent and the field of view perfect for shooting wide expanses. It vignettes in the corners of the image a little bit but it adds a really nice effect. This lens is excellent in low light and stellar, all puns intended, at astrophotography.

20mm G or 24mm G Master
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was my decision. I wanted a lens just for Astro photography. After watching countless YouTube videos, I decided the extra 4 mm was more important than the 1.4 aperture. The price also helped with this. The lens feels solid and well made. I had another 20mm with f2.8 and it just wasn’t letting enough light in do get the Milky Way acceptable for my taste. I’m really happy with the results and purchase. I’d love to show you some results but the Best Buy app isn’t letting me upload my pictures, maybe the files are too large. I shoot with A7iii come on Best Buy, I’m not reducing the quality on pictures when that’s part of the selling point.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very sharp and fast lens! Needed to buy a lens that would be great for landscape and was going to take it for a trip, but now that will have to wait.
