    Sony Shooters - This Lens is a Must

    This lens is a challenge for someone who is using it on a crop censor. It can be a tad difficult to dial in this focal length with the magnifier from a crop lens but it is for sure worth the money. I hope to upgrade to an A7RIII one day and am just getting used to the feel and use of this lens as I wait. Sony shooters - this lens is a must.

    Literally the only lens for those insane portrait photo shoots! Be aware this is really only meant for a single subject. Trying to get multiple people in the exact same depth of field is very difficult. Highly recommend!

    This is my new favorite lens. It is incredibly fast and although some people have complained about a noise it makes while focusing that went away after about two weeks. The sharpness of this lens is absolutely incredible and it is more than worth its weight.

    Solid depth of field. Missing colors sometimes. I’ll take shot and import it and there be distortion. I have 5+ years of photography on my belt.
