positive: | -Range on FF -suprisingly fast AF for such an old lens, very good for sports -very nice colors -good contrast -bokeh -price |
negative: | -range on APS-C (35mm is little long) -MF ring sucks -nothing else for the price |
comment: | Well, better than I expected! A little gem it is! I once bought it dirt cheap (~15€) and sold it when I sold my A550 (I changed to NEX) and regret it later. It was fast, sharp enough, great colors... I loved it but 35mm was a little long on APS-C. Some days ago I bought it again and I'm currently using it on Sony A7 with LEA4 Adapter... I will update the review when I have more experience with it on FF. |
