    From corner to corner this lens delivers. The best 55mm option for E-mount users.

    This is an absolutely stunning lens. If you can afford this lens it is a must have for the Sony a7xx cameras. Outstanding sharpness even when shot wide open. Great colors. Excellent build quality.

    Incredible lense. Still getting used to the shorter focal ranges but it's the perfect mid range lense for most all types of shooting environments.

    Bought for my A7R2 which I ended up returning for financial reasons but the lens was very sharp and well constructed. Skinnier and longer than other similar lenses I've used (Canon and Nikon).

    Best price lense for the sony e mount, alpha 7 ii and alpha 7r/7r2. Very good low light performance. 1.8 f stop is great for portrait and night photography.

    Pricey little lens with great quality, HOWEVER, research more! There are lenses out there significantly better. My first zeiss 55mm had a lot of issues, it would creak, sound horrible when autofocusing, but i got a replacement for free after arguing with the manager at lake forest, i was well within my return date but he just gave me a really hard time for no reason.
