    Excellent performer all around. Great value .5.0/5

    Excellent performer all around. Great value . Excellent performer. Fast AF. sharp in the center at all apertures. Corners sharp by f4.5. No color fringing, no flare even without a hood. Excellent sharpness and resolution allow this lens to be used bot as 24mm and as 28mm (with edge cropping) while still allowing excellent 16x20 inch enlargement. Lightweight and low progile - can be used ion both A-series cameras and with autofocus adapter on Sony E-series cameras, . Sharp enough to provide excellent equivalent of 36mm on APS size sony camera such as A6000, a6300, a6500. Can be left on the camera all the time.

    Very good lens for this price!5.0/5

    Very good lens for this price! The lens is compact and light, with good picture, starting f3.5 till f16. Nice bokeh, usable minimal focus distance, and convenient angle for FF and APS-C matrix cameras. Lens for every day using. Much sharper than Minolta AF28-105 f 3.5-4.5 on F28 mm focus distance (short line). You may need a micro-adjustment of focus for SONY A-series using. Good quality for this price!

    Excellent Prime Lens for the Money 5.0/5

    Excellent Prime Lens for the Money This little lens is excellent for both indoor and outdoor photography. It's inexpensive, and with an aperture of f2.8, it's plenty for most low light situations. I use it for landscapes, group portraits, and indoor photography. It's an excellent prime lens for the money.
