    This lens is great so far, I've gotten some awesome shots, it does have some distortion that can be corrected with the built in lens adjustments in photoshop and lightroom. Still new to it, but excited to continue shooting.

    Expensive but I think is part of the trade. Works perfect with the Sony a7 iii only problem when shooting at night autofocus doesn’t perform as good like Sony said.

    I was not expecting the zoom ring to be so hard to turn. It seriously took both hands to zoom in and out. I have the Sony 70-200 and can easily manage with one hand. Disappointed to say the least.
