    Great lens with features that you would expect from Sony G Master lenses...definitely worth every penny, but it does need to be paired with a full frame upper end camera such as my Sony Alpha A7r4 which i absolutely love.

    The lens is great except that occassionally the wide angle can distort the picture if it is a closed area and the room is small
