    This lens is so versatile, it stays on my camera most of the time! It can capture from wide to really close up shots at your own convenience. The image that comes out of this is just sharp!

    bang for the buck lense for any Sony A6x especially if you dont have image stabilization. This lense provides that extra stabilization which was my main reason of choosing this over a couple other sigma lenses.
