Pros: light, fast af, compact and good at TA

Cons: maf ring of small size, aberrations in counter light, slight distortion at the edges if the subject is very close

Opinion: I think among the most interesting economic fixed to have, the 24 is a wide angle that on apsc becomes the normal 35. perfectly usable at 2.8, already at 4 becomes crystal clear, without losing too much quality at the edges. perfect colors like minolta school, some backlit aberrations and slight distortions, but do not prevent us from using it with great satisfaction in portraiture, architecture and landscapes

Pros: Light and compact, good construction, colors, versatile with APS-C (crop factor 1.5x)

Cons: Some chromatic aberration and distortion on the sides, soft TA.

Opinion: This is the first fixed lens I purchased. I found it used at a low price and the purchase was motivated by wanting to try a fixed lens that had an angle as close as possible to a 35mm on Sony APS-C (crop factor 1.5x) .rnThe lens is compact, read and fun to use. Constructively, it looks quite solid with a shiny black plastic barrel with a rubber insert to facilitate grip, while the focus ring, lens profile and graft guide are made of metal. The upper part has a window where you can read the focusing distance, there are notches for the depth of field. The lens allows automatic focusing using the SLR engine. The hood is made of petals and plastic. The lens moves inside the barrel during focusing, so there is no variation in lens length. On Sony APS-C (crop factor 1.5x) is quite versatile, the angle of field is equal to that ofa 36mm and allows you to easily take landscapes, street photos and even good close-ups. According to my personal opinion, one of the best aspects of this lens are the colors, which are very vivid. The bokeh tends to be a bit "hard" on the sides of the blur, this is especially noticeable with the lights. This does not mean that some bokeh does not appear soft or can not be used creatively. In general the focus is accurate, on my camera (an obsolete Sony A100) has some problems with subjects with low contrast or too dark. With aperture open at F2.8 manual focusing is difficult due to the reduced depth of field and can be used predominantly on very close or infinity subjects. Given the type of lens, there is a certain distortion on the sides of the image and some chromatic aberration. In general, the image shows a good definition. AF / 2 becomes soft.rnIf you are a beginner like me, you use APS-C, always like me, and you can nota fixed lens, this could become a good and fun companion. And then you can find it used at advantageous prices.
