    For the price you can't expect perfection. Image quality and build quality are good to great. A lens good is included and that is nice. Only complaint is noisy auto focus.

    Good portrait lens. Will test it out more. Colors turns out great and the bokeh effect is really good cause of the low aperture. Not bad with the price either

    I purchased this lens mainly for portrait shots but i use it for regular shots too. It’s wide aperture gives you the best crispness in the pictures.

    I ended up returning this lens because the auto focus was way too loud for video and got a 18-105 zoom lens from sony for a little bit more money you get way better quality
