    The optics are sharp and the auto-focus surprisingly decent for an older lens, however the chromatic aberration was a bit of a nuisance for me and the loud focusing motors are a no go for video shooters(if you are mainly a stills shooter, you can live with it). Still, it’s optical performance is surprisingly well considering the age and price of the lens.

    The lens was not clear as expected, for 260 dollars, you would expect something clear and Sony is usually pretty spot on with their products. I think this product should be worked on and maybe upgraded.

    Good for the price. Theres better out there but this will work for someone on a budget. Also works as an everyday lens if you dont want to drop a ton of money on an expensive lens that may get damaged. Focus breathing is less than ideal for video.

    My wife and I both shoot the occasional portraits for family and friends. Nice sharp lens and nice out of focus areas when you want that soft bokeh background. I use it mainly for nature photography. All in all a great lens for the price.

    One of the best starter lens you can buy for your 6000+ series Sony shooter, a bit of a learning curve and the main drawback is there is no zoom (obviously), but amazing performance, even in low light conditions
