Great quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After having spent some time shooting with it now I can say it creates some crisp photos. I’ve used it with an a6000 and it was a big jump from the kit lens.

Good budget lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a pretty good lens for the price. Images are crisp and have a nice bokeh. Problem that I have with it is that I feel like the auto focus hunts more often than it should. I find myself having to put more time and effort into grabbing focus than I should.
