and detail is near flawless
Focus speed is generally very good
excellent sharpness and contrast
it is a great fit on both systems
perfectly fine for me and still a good lens for Astro as well
Excellent close focus capability
and feels incredibly well built and solid in the hand
lighter
smaller
and more affordable Sony
much better build quality
Focus - The focusing is quick and nails focusing very well
colors look great
with great contrast as well
great fluid body design that pairs well with the included plastic lens hood
It s always very effective and really brings more contrast to your images

It has too much distortion for the price
OLED screen has become too dark
vignetting
the corners are darker and lower in contrast
vignetting is negligibly small at all focus distances
no built-in image stabilization
actually only visible at f/2
is limited
the rubber attracts more dust
numbers can be more difficult to read depending on the light and the angle
it only activates when you use the camera in manual focus mode
barrel distortion with one click
disappears almost completely only at the slowest aperture
The extreme corners wide open are a little soft
none of us possesses both lenses to compare
definatively not on the same optical level
bit marred by axial chromatic aberration
mirrorless lenses lose any kind of distance window
the rubberized surface will break down and peel over time
This site uses Akismet to reduce spam
The barrel has no switches on it
the lens hood is made of plastic rather than metal
no optical stabilization built into the lens
Sony GM is a bit heavier
Sony only branded lenses
Sony lenses fail and their lenses aren t matched
hanging off the side of my camera bag
