Pros: Sharpness, colors, optical correctness, weight, size, build quality
Cons: Price on the new delirious, too small the opening of f/2.8, ta vignetting, old generation autofocus
Opinion: Slow with many positives but as many negatives. The first impression for me is phenomenal: tiny lens, very light despite the metal construction (which I like much more than modern plastic alloys) that still conveys the feeling of having in your hands a quality object, well done. Nice compact lampshed too. You mount it on camera and you don't want to believe it's really that small... Then the pain starts a little bit, because the auto focus is slow. I would not say inaccurate, but only slow. And even the manual MAF, given the small size of the lens, is far from simple and even the ring is a bit inconsistent like many lenses with the ride by wire (if I have to be honest I used it in MF only to try because then it is really uncomfortable). From an optical point of view, however, we return among the strong points. In my view it is excellent for size and weight, a gem. A little soft at TA, but extremely sharp in the f/4-f/8 range. Beautiful colors and contrast for me, at the top of the category, produces vibrant and very pleasant images. Distortion, very small if not non-existent chromatic aberrations, from an optical point of view the only real defect is the vignetting that is intrusive to TA, then improves but is present at almost all openings. This is a useful lens in all situations where you want to be discreet, little visible, light in the backpack NOT photographic, but at the same time produce high quality images. Excellent in urban contexts or for reportage, where hyperfocality and good sharpness are exploited. Of course with the small maximum aperture of f/2.8 you can not think of high-level bokeh or off-top of the imperious floors, just as it is not the maximum in a little light (for this reason it is better to combine it with the A7 series where you can climb with ISOs without too much fear). The price on the new is something crazy and senseless, to be teased. On the used is located around 400-450 euros representing a good purchase for those who know the lens they buy and do not seek the perfection of an Art or the speed of MAF of a GM but also wants to have a hint of the Zeiss yield.
