Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It’s amazing that it can lock on this well at 1. Best value imo. The price is lower than any of its competitors.

This lens punches well above its weight. Despite being bigger, it's actually less heavy than the viltrox. Sigma art also weighs like four times this lens, this one is much easier on the wrist and seems just as sharp!

Focus is as fast as any sony lens i have, but again it's on an a6000. Picture quality is stellar & the bokeh rendering is lovely. My only gripe is there have been some ongoing auto focus challenges.

It focuses very well. No image stabilization, but with glass this fast and modern high iso performance, not an issue at all.

Sharpness is excellent and the bokeh phenomenal. Lens - super sharp and great compression.

Cons

This lens is too unreliable and i am sending it back. This photos are soft and not as sharp as my kit lens which is a shame.

Quality

The af performance is great picture quality is stellar the bokeh rendering is lovely

8 and they are not going to be the most durable but they are decent and they get the quality photos done well

No real way to get the missing part because i would have to return the entire product

Did not expect great quality lens with this price

Price

This lens for the price is absolutely stunning

In this price i say its better than i expected

But the price is not even close

The optics are far above the price point for this lens

Shipping

The lens was fast and accurate to focus with dim or bright light

Competitiveness

4 and yields results that rival sony’s much more expensive option

All for a fraction of the cost of gm lenses

Korean company clearly now starting to compete with japan

Well except that i bought it for my wifes a7iii and not my canon
