This lens fills a gap in my equipment
I had this lens on my wish list for a couple of years. Since I prefer prime lenses to zooms, this one fills the gap between my 14 mm ultra wide and my 30 mm wide-normal in my Sony A-mount (APS-C) kit. The images that I have gotten with it are acceptably sharp for my needs. I would not recommend it, though, for professional use because of its plastic body. So far I have used it for close-up, non-macro photos of flowers. It does a good job ... Show More

Amazing panoramic lens
Probably the best panoramic choice on Sony Alpha mount, I'm extremely satisfied with it's saturation and sharpness. Used Tamron 17-50 and Sony 11-17 lens, incomparable to this one.
