| ownership: | I own this lens |
| compared to: | 17-35 mm Konica Minolta 20 mm Sony |
| price paid: | £290.00 |
| positive: | Great fun and value. Super resolution. A manual focus and aperture lens that makes you think when you are using it |
| negative: | Nothing considering price. Distortion can be corrected and my main use is for landscapes where it is not so much of a problem anyway. Difficult to use filters or grads with this kind of lens design |
| comment: | Very pleased with this inexpensive lens on my a900. The resolution is excellent and can produce some really creative images. Being fully manual it slows you down and makes you think when composing shots, no bad thing. Update: I did not find this very good on Sony NEX7 or A7R, might be an adapter fault but parts of the image were soft |
