For 100?! Amazing. Love it. Still use it. Listen, it's not for professional photoshoots, it does become quite fuzzy at the lowest aperture, as light seems to bleed out in a haze at 1.8, but I used this lens to take some spectacular family vacation photos, and would recommend it wholeheartedly (as someone who has done professional photography) as a casual lens that you dont have to worry about breaking, or as a learning tool as you are figuring out how aperture works.

for the price, i’m actually surprised. as someone who wants a lens that fits everything i want in one for my photos/videos, this is the one i actually love. for the most part, ever since i purchased and used this lens, its the only lens i bring. i literally keep it on my camera (Sony a6000) and never take it off, thats how astonished i am with these lens. another thing is, i have a total of around 5 lens, and this is the one i’ve used the most now. although it is not an auto-focus lens and that its mostly manual, it is still a perfect lens to either start off with or just to have around in case. i love it so much, it is small and carry friendly, it fits in my bags and still leaves enough space for more, it came with lens covers and overall, the quality is amazing. i may be over exaggerating the 5 stars, but to be completely honest. in my experience with these, its my most favorite lens out of the ones i bought at such a HIGHER price. take this review as you will, but to me, this is a great lens!

El lento llegó antes de lo anunciado. Es de u material sumamente resistente y generá una imagen de gran calidad una vez que se aprende a utilizar el lente manual en una mirrorless. Su relación calidad precio es excelente. Muy recomendado. Read more

Ich bin mit diesen Objektiv sehr sehr Zufrieden! Read more

I wanted a compact lens for travel and everyday use. The length of the lens is similar to the kit lens (when it’s contracted), but it’s slightly heavier. The affordable price means I don’t have to worry about banging it up. Quality feels good and it’s adaptable to different lighting situations. I was able to shoot without struggle at the end of golden hour and into twilight. The camera could pick up small details that can be edited in post. Update: I've had this lens for a month now and used it during 2 trips. Cons: The lens cap has a tendency to fall off. I put the camera in my bag during a flight and the lens cap came off. Luckily the lens wasn't damaged, but I was shoving stuff in and out of the bag without knowing the cap came off. I'm considering getting a lens cap with a leash. If you don't want to hassle with a shifting aperture ring then this lens isn't for you. The aperture ring does not click into place, so it has a tendency to move. This doesn't bother me since I tend to shoot with a fixed aperture. Next time I take photos, I will put electrical tape on the aperture ring to stop it from moving. Pros: The lens is manual focus, so shooting with the camera is incredibly fast. I have a Sony A6000 and all what I have to do is switch it on and it's ready to go. No waiting for autofocus. I set my aperture and focal length beforehand, and whenever I want to shoot, I just turn it on. This is incredibly helpful for street photography and taking "in the moment" photos when timing is key. The camera's battery life lasts way longer with a manual lens. I quickly turn it on, take photos, then switch it off. I can go a whole day without switching batteries. Teaching your friends and family how to use your camera with manual focus is easy. On a sunny day, I set the aperture to 8, and the focal length to 5 ft-infinity. I tell them to stand 5 ft or further and click the shutter. I also turn on the "focus peaking" in the color red. I tell them anything outlined in red will be in focus. It's that easy. Conclusion: This lens isn't for everyone. If you prefer (or are used to) shooting with autofocus and want better aperture control, I wouldn't recommend purchasing this lens. It doesn't have those features. The lens is very stripped back in terms of features and design. The price is under $100, so don't expect it to have all the bells and whistles. Using this lens is similar to using old film cameras. For me, this lens is a good affordable option for travel and everyday use. Excellent in shooting speed and conserving battery. It's not the best lens out there, but it does what I want it to. Read more
