Pros:Excellent sharpness already at full aperture, metal construction and very solid, very useful display, possibility to mount screw filters (77MM) fantastic focus memorization function for night use, well-controlled coma and very good backlight seal if you do not necessarily look for the glow.
Cons:Average hood
Opinion:Ordered with much perplexity but at the same time very curious ... I was absolutely impressed by this optics, very sharp ALWAYS at all openings plus at 1.8 even the edges are more than good, it becomes a razor from 2.8 to 8. Nothing to envy to top lenses with regard to truly incredible optical performance, for landscape and night use a lens to have for strength. I use it on A7RII and III for day and night landscapes and it left me stunned. Moreover, screw filters can be mounted... Unmissable at the proposed sale price... If you have prejudices about the brand (As I had) you will change your mind after trying it. Highly recommended
Cons:Not very high weight but it makes a bit of a difference.
Opinion:I was very excited to try this lens, from the reviews some (perhaps biased) promised miracles, higher sharpness than GMaster lenses... Well, in short, this is not the case... In any case, I am not at all disappointed by this goal, on the contrary. So far I have been able to see an excellent and fast focus, I have not noticed any noises. It works well both in photos and videos, only in dark environments even if there are bright contrasts it tends to break down a bit, but nothing catastrophic, normal limits. Having already the FE 20G I could make a comparison, the sharpness does not exceed that of mid-range sony lenses, but still comes very close, for a lens that costs half I would say that the results are excellent. I found it slightly brighter than the 20 sony, with the same parameters, maybe almost a +0.3. Absurdly I noticed being more performing and sharp at full opening rather than completely closed. I made some great night shots at the Milky Way, I will post them when I also learn to edit them decently. The deformation is almost nothing, a great job all in all this lens that has almost nothing to envy to the G series, especially the price
Cons:Vignette quite a bit, a bit heavy, I would have preferred a minimum focusing distance of less than 27 cm
Opinion:All great : Sharpness (it is a blade really) , Distortion miraculously non-existent , colors , autofocus (as far as the af speed can be worth on an ultra wide angle) , AF speed in video , Solid construction , PRICE! The screen is definitely a big advantage for night photography. The metal construction gives the feeling of a bombproof lens and in my opinion it is, but this translates into a few hectograms more. I recommend it to those looking for a landscape lens and also some portrait on the fly, why portrait? Because the aperture and the total absence of distortion make possible some portraits up close with a nice bokeh (9 diaphragm blades)
