Pros: Stunning sharpness, very good quality of blurry. Very light. A great lens for portraits and also for everyday photos. Accurate and fast autofocus. Performance and quality / price ratio enviable. Robust despite plastic.

Cons: Virtually nothing to say negative. Many complain that it is almost all plastic but it looks robust: you do not have to be tricked into a war reportage.

Opinion: I chose it as a portraiture lens for my Alfa 57 and I use it, thanks to its maximum aperture, for long-stemmed starry-looking photos. It is already quite clear at the maximum opening and still improves quite a bit by closing a few stops (af / 2.8 offers its maximum with images that appear engraved with shaving blades). I should lose it or break it again I would recapture it again! It's always in the beard of the various zoom, on the front of my camera. The autofocus is fast and very accurate so I practically never had to use manual fire. I've been using it for almost seven years and never gave me any problems. Fine palates can nourish the nose by finding it very plasticous but this lightweight, very good plasticine does its job well and it has always made me feel very reliable. Let's say one thing: I already recommend it for its extraordinary performance and superconscious for the price. Save a few packets of cigarettes and do it yours !!! Then let me know ..

Pros: Bokeh, image quality even better if TA closed slightly, cheap, light.

Cons: Whole plastic (but OK for the price), AF to normal at times uncertain, long on APSC interior or as a single lens for output.

Opinion: After nearly a year of use, I feel I can express an opinion on this lens, very cheap (around 140 euro). Personally I find it a fantastic goal, the yield is truly amazing and considering that we are talking about a lens low-end you can not really ask for meglio.rnLa building is made entirely of plastic, I would say decent quality, the only flaw report is that the attack is plastic and not metal, Peccato.rnL'AF is rather fast, the accuracy is generally good, note that only at times there is a certain uncertainty of focus, and one must try a second time . The only drawback I would say a noise of 'AF a little above normal, but nothing to worry insomma.rnL'effetto bokeh (background blur) is great, really BEAUTIFUL !! Subjects will be completely detached from the background putting them in prominence. Being a 50 mm equivalent of 75 mm format on aps-c and 'undoubtedly a lens that prefers portraits, I personalmenyou've purchased is for this reason and for use in sports photography, having a decent focal length, of course we are talking about sports in which the subject is a few meters away (boxing, cycling, motocross?) and of course not huge soccer fields, various circuits or Olympic swimming pools, but this is clear. I used it with good results during a league match of football 5, managing to shoot at ISO 800 max aperture set to f2.0 or 2.2 and shutter speed appropriate to that type of action 1/640 second and still never below 1/500 (safety times?) to freeze the movement of the player (and in this case the ball) .rnLa great brightness lets you shoot with low ISO values ??even indoors or at night, and this also thanks to the internal stabilization of the Sony Alpha. Generally the aim is quite sharp even wide open at f1.8, but if you close slightly even already at 2.2 or more quality improves again, the sharpness is certainly superior to riusciendoobtain a greater amount of dettagli.rnBisogna careful with the depth of field, because in this you have full control of the PDC, in fact f / 1.8 it becomes really small and often if you do not pay attention to the precise point where you focus, you are likely to obtain images in which the plane of focus is not what we wanted, this happens especially with objects close together as still life, portraits and close "macro" fotografia.rnDi later I leave the link to the video unboxing and video test (on the YouTube channel also find other interesting lenses): rnhttps: //www.youtube.com/edit? o = U = & video_id NePN6-ajPgs Unboxingrnhttps: //www.youtube.com/edit? o = U = & video_id _OvlM-hIwfs Video TestrnrnInfine I would encourage honors this lens with good economic potentials, I recommend it for use as an amateur and even semi-professional. With my Sony Alpha a37 is giving me good shots. Soon I will post someone to give a better idea of ??its potential.
