Customer Reviews
I bought this prime lens for my Sony a6000 after feeling a bit limited with the 16-50mm f3.5-5.6 kit lens that came with it. I have to say that I am really glad I bought this lens, although it was also on sale at the time which sweetened the deal and I had kept an eye on it for a while. The difference between f3.5 on the kit lens and the f1.8 on this lens really is impressive, I have attached some photos of thistles that were shot on this lens at that f-number which are (in my opinion) really nice. There is also a long exposure shot attached as well that is shot at a much greater f11 for 13 seconds.The thing I like most about this prime lens is that it feels like a great upgrade to the kit lens as it forces you to develop new skills and try new techniques. For example, that long exposure shot was the first I had ever tried something like that before, I sort of knew what to do in theory but it was not until I found something I could rest my camera on (I did not have a tripod at this point), stick a filter on the front of the lens (which I had never used before) and punched in some ballpark settings for a long exposure shot and waited to see if it would work. I was so surprised at how well the photos came out (in my eyes).I think the great thing about this lens is it is sharp, it has the optical steady shot (OSS) stabilisation built into the lens, which the a6000 lacks in the body. Essentially meaning the lens will correct for hand shudder when you are not using a tripod. For a beginner like myself, or someone with a camera that lacks in-body image stabilisation (IBIS) it is a great bonus to have. I do not tend to shoot much video but from what I have read it becomes more important if you are walking around videoing or vlogging with it so it is worth bearing in mind if that is how you plan to use it. I was torn between this and the Sigma 30mm f1.4, which would be the main rival to this lens from what I can tell. I was undecided on which of the two I would buy until this lens came down in price on sale, and if I am honest, from what I have read you probably won't go wrong with either as they both get rave reviews. As this is a Sony lens I would imagine the autofocus is slightly better than the Sigma but I can't honestly say that as I do not have the Sigma lens to compare, the autofocus is good but it can struggle in certain situations, although I am not skilled enough to know if that is due to error on my part in those situations!In conclusion, I am really happy with this lens, I feel like the main reason I got this prime lens was to try and develop new skills which is exactly what I have been able to do. It is light, compact, has OSS and comes with it's own lens hood and rear cap - which for some reason the kit lens lacks - which are all nice attributes for this as a whole package.If you are in doubt about what to get, read reviews and watch youtube clips about them, I found that really helpful. It feels like a bit of a risk every time you spend money on a lens and I felt the same when buying this, but I am really glad I did.Hope this helps!
