    I absolutely love this lens. I plan on getting the Sigma or G master lens next. But this lens has a really good depth of field. Can work in low light. The auto focus is fast and somewhat quite when it’s focusing. I’ve created some amazing footage and taken dope pictures with this lens.

    Another lens to add to my Sony arsenal. In my quest to have a little bit of everything for my Sony 6600 this purchase made sense with quality, affordability, and functionality.

    This was the perfect choice for my first Sony lens purchase, working from making the switch from my Canon set to Sony. This has been fantastic for the portrait work I do and allows me to push my lighting options to make the creative content I want!

    Great lens for the price! I bought this lens as knowing how much I was spending and did not have high expectations but it has done great! Just know this is not a $1K lens when purchasing. Overall good cost effective buy for a hobby photographer.

    Nothing beats a 1.8f prime for low light photography. I highly recommend it for uts snappy autofocus and performance in low light.

    The picture quality is very good, great focal length and aperture, light and small footprint. The only downside is the noisy AF ( autofocus) and plasticy feel. Overall great lens for the price.
