Sharp lens, not as bad as some have said
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I put this lens through its paces today. This lens delivers sharp results throughout the focal range. I'm not certain what some reviewers are doing, but focus with this lens on my a6000, was very good and spot on. I shot outside in full sun, indoors, with both natural and artificial light, outside during the golden hour, blue hour, and after astronomical twilight. Focus was as I expected it to be, fast and accurate. At $199 this lens is a good buy, get it, get out and shoot, and enjoy!

I had low expectations and was still disappointed
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

Lovely images but......
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Slow inaccurate focus. Bad for video.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
