Good but don’t waste your money
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don’t buy this lense it’s a waste of money. With so many different options out their this lense is not worth you spending a grand for a 1.8, you have 1.4 options out their and the nifty fifty that looks exactly the same side by side

Sony lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have only been able to use this lens once, so far, and can tell a noticeable difference in the photos. I shoot in RAW format and have had to do very little editing. I can hardly wait to put it to a good test. I am so pleased with my purchase.

Not a huge difference from cheap 50mm 1.8
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're a Zeiss fan, I'm sure it's fine. I was expecting a bit more responsive and accurate autofocus than my cheap 50mm 1.8 but it was almost exactly the same. I ended up returning this, unfortunately. The difference was negligible and the price point was way too high for that difference.
