I would recommend this to a friendGood budget lens
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

I would recommend this to a friendGreat quality but loud
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The focal length and price were incredible but the stepping motor who focusing was so loud it was questionable. I would avoid it for any video due to the motor.

Sharp and fast…but
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic lens. Excellent build quality. Great price. I gave it 4 stars as my one complaint has to do with the constant hunting when autofocus is turned on. Otherwise this lens would be perfect. Sharp and very fast.

Good for beginners
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.makes amazing, sharp pictures. Good for the beginners. One of the cons is that it’s a prime lens which means that you can’t zoom in or out.

Posted .Hello MaxA, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are happy to hear you are enjoying the lens quality. We appreciate you sharing your opinion. Being a prime lens, its main perk and definition is a fixed focal length. The trade off that you are gaining is the compactness and sharpness compared to lenses that can zoom. We would love to invite you to check out our zoom lens lineup as well. Thank you again for choosing Sony. Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. -Linda Sony Social Support
Great Lens!

Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens takes a bit of practice to get just right, but when you do.. Oh man, it's a game changer. Really good for mid to long shots of cars and car rollers. Highly suggest for car photography.
