    Amazing lens for portraits on my a6000. Such a powerful lens and so crisp with a nice bokeh effect.

    This is a cheap lens my wife and I bought for use with our Sony a7ii. The autofocus is a bit slow but overall it is a nice entry level lens.

    It isn't the sharpest lens I've ever used, but for the price it is a nice, quick lens to get away from the kit lens.

    Love this lens for the 1.8. It’s sharp and great for the price, however the autofocus is a bit loud, so for video purposes, you may have to use manual focus.
