Pros: Size and comfort, brightness, soft bokeh, price

Cons: Construction material; purple fringing af / 1.8; a little soft at f / 1.8

Opinion: Purchased for an initial normal lens, the Sony A68's APS-C sensor has an angle of around 52 ° C. Constructively made of mixed sensations: it is built for the most part from satin-finished black plastic (including mounting ring) with some metal parts, so it looks a bit fragile, but it is light and seems well built. The focusing ring is very fluid. With the focus the lens lengthens slightly. To activate the AF you need to operate a switch on one side, on the A68 you just need to activate it to activate the AF without having to act on the switch on the body of the machine. The AF works well and precisely, thanks also to the SAM motor. The color rendering and sharpness seem very good to me. Thanks to the plastic construction it is extremely light. And then it is very bright. Update: af / 1.8 is purple fringing a gogo and is a bit 'soft.rnActually the price is quite tempting and the relationship is in favor of quality;. is a lens that could be of interest especially for those who approach the first lenses like me and are interested in a normal lens.

Pros: Price, bright, sharpness at full opening, small and convenient

Cons: of fragility and plasticky Feeling

Opinion: First hard for my Sony A58. I was undecided whether to buy this or 50mm, but being on Aps-c do not regret the choice. Still used in interior for its 54mm equivalent focal length, it shows how hard useful to learn how to handle basic rules of photography. In manual mode it allows you to take anything and everything. From portraits at F1.8 with PDC very small, even in landscapes not too wide, where stopping down at the right point, it returns a incredibile.rnDa sharpness when I bought it I put aside the standard 18-55 kit that still offers a variable focal but it is preferable to use his feet, for a quality absolutely migliore.rnPochissime chromatic aberrations at full aperture, however, disappear closing already af 2.8, which overall makes the TOP. They however also to the total opening, any aberrations are easily solvable in PP. The focus is sometimes a little dancer, and can depend on the camera body, or the photographer not good at rifocheggiare but nothing special. In my case, I found a back focus, and I had to send optica and camera body in support for calibration. With a camera body with fine adjustment of AF, you can set it to avoid "wasters" expeditions, but even here it is not a "defect" in sè.rnIl target price? 200 Euros. Li is worth all, also held in the hand like a tennis ball, and makes a nice, carry around the camera body with this objective piccolo.rnUnico neo? The various components of the feeling of plasticosità that "move", but the feelings are not a problema.rnAssolutamente to have in your corredo.rn

Pros: quality / price ratio, openness, clarity already in TA, blurry, fast-focusing lens, macro ratio of 1: 4

Cons: plasticky

Opinion: excellent lens for what it costs: the price-quality ratio really embarrassing. A choice almost obliged if you want a normal: why spend more when this lens delivers all the quality needed? Personally I use it often as the only lens in the outputs where I want to be light, you can do everything; street, portraits, little macro driven, creative shots, reportage, etcrnInoltre as many chances to play in the blurry, and allows shooting in poor lighting conditions. Purchase super advised

Pros: Excellent value for money. Good blurred, good sharpness than f2.

Cons: Plasticky, the presence of chromatic aberrations at full aperture, disappear by closing slightly the diaphragm.

Opinion: Good lens, economic and good yield. About 54mm of aps-c, slightly longer than normal but it is better a 35mm a 28mm, 28 would be too many optical distortion for a lens "handyman" as a normal should be. Autofocus is not a splinter but even a snail. For what it costs it is good to approach to the control of depth of field.

Pros: Incredible sharpness. Even at full aperture is equivalent to Zeiss 16-80 of the best conditions. F4 is only surpassed by the 50mm F1.4. but very little. Very leggero.rnA that price will not buy another ... really cheap to practice with blurry ...

Cons: Body completely plastic. Does not imply any waiver, if not aesthetic. front lens rotates in AF. annoying if you have your fingers near them. l 'AF is not in sight. and even a sniper. sometimes errs on the subject within a meter. physical switch from AF azionarre SEMPRE.rn

Opinion: 7ottica, then the room ... rnrnPeccato!
