This lens is almost useless for portrait work, at least on the a7 iii. I don’t think you can even use Sony’s eye-af with this lens. The focus is also so so so spotty and what I mean by that is, I will use AF and it will beep as if the subject is in focus but when I pull up the photos in LR or PS they’re actually wildly out of focus. The focus you do get with this lens is very soft. If you like texture, details, or crisp images I don’t think you should get this. The amount of photos I’ve had to trash because I used this lens is kinda ridiculous. It’s also SO loud. Let’s say you sit your camera down to do something. It’s going to try to focus on whatever is in frame in front of it. Imagine how awkward it is to hear this lens humming and buzzing because it’s trying to focus. I don’t use it for video but if I did I would be even more disappointed cause that focus is LOUD and constant

I'm an totally blown away by the quality of this lens!!

I know this has been beaten to death already but i have to say it so that maybe SONY can make a version 2 of this lens! OMG worst focus ever. slowest focusing lens on earth. I changed settings 10 times and it was still super slow. I hope they can improve this. I'm shooting with an A7 which I did the latest firmware update on 9/29/16 . the lens was still super slow. Loved the images but i can manual focus faster.

very sharp.. fast lens.. works excellent with my sony a7rii

Slow inaccurate focus. Does not work well in low light as you would expect an f/1.8 to do. Does not focus in low light.
