| comment: | This is my first G lens. I thought this lens was as small as Jupiter-9 , but it was not. Lens is very big and bulky. In other words, it is heavy. When it plug into my A700. It balance out and work perfectly. lens is build by metal body , it was build to last forever. This lens capture good skin tone. best for portrait. ~135mm in APS-C with F1.4. Wow... better than CZ 135/1.8 in FF. It worth every penny you pay for it. |
