positive: | Fast Sharp Fantastic colours Light and compact |
negative: | None at this price but I wish it had SAM or SSM to use with LA-EA3. |
comment: | First time I used this lens I was blown away with the colours compared to my old (vintage now) Minolta 50mm f/1.7. A must have for any A mount shooter. A perfect portrait lens on APS-C and an everyday workhorse on FF. Worth every penny. I will be keeping this lens even if it's just to shoot film a couple of times a year. |
