ownership: | I own this lens |
compared to: | Minolta 35/1.4G |
price paid: | $850 new |
positive: | Great combination of sharpness and bokeh. |
negative: | On an a99ii, AF is slow and inconsistent. Worse in low light. |
comment: | I used this lens a lot on my a99ii, despite the AF issues. It works very well outdoors in the day, but indoors I prefer my Minolta. However, using on my a7Rv with a LA-EA adapter has breathed new life into this lens. Eye detect AF with tracking works very well, even in low light. The AF is still a little slow so some action shots can be hit or miss. And the results are magnificent at 61Mp. |
