Good Lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, my experience with this lens has mainly been positive. I have taken good photographs with it (even at higher ISOs), and it is light and portable. My only issue with this lens would be its accuracy when it comes to auto focusing. It could just be me (I am accustomed to focusing manually.), but the lens does not always handle auto focusing well when using an aperture at or around f/2.8. It is a good prime lens, though. - Olivia F.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In my initial purchase of the Sony a6000, I was only going to use it's stock lens, but after experimenting with this portrait lens, it definitely gave me what i was looking for. The quality of shots along with the blurry background effect was exactly what my wife and I loved. This lens does that for you. Unfortunately it does not have zoom capabilities but reaches pretty good distance.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The f1.8 is awsome at blurring background and for shooting in low light. It’s inexpinsive and great for very low DOF shots. Fast auto focus.
