Nice lens for a cheap price.
One of the best lenses and bang-for-the-buck for APS-C e-mount, in fact. Awesome for portraits. The video is BS — there is no way this should be considered a “kit” lens, just because of the price.
The build quality and finish are far better that a typical “kit” lens.
Yeah, he doesn’t really seem to know what he is talking about. And no black bodies before the SEL-50F18? That rich!
Price is reasonable because its a 50mm apsc lens…
The matte finish of the Sony Zeiss lenses look so much better than this weird shiny black… but i guess if it actually was a Zeiss, we’d be paying four times the price, just for the finish and the sticker, lol.
I don’t understand those manufacturers that seem to be obsessed with mismatching lens and body finish.
Did we suddenly go back in time or can someone explain the excitement in posting an unboxing video of a lens that has been around for how long now? For the record, I have one and I think it’s excellent.
Well, these unboxing videos are worthless anyways. And so are the people that get excited about such dumb videos. So to answer your question: it’s because there are so many worthless people out there.
Yes, the lens itself is very nice.
lol a bit harsh even by my standards but it’s funny.
The only time an unboxing video can serve a purpose is when you run in to complications with a DOA claim after you buy from a dodgy seller on, say, an auction site. For all other times, reading the “package contents” is enough.
It gives good results but manual focus on the nex 3 I used it on was good awful.
That’s just because of focus by wire.
August 2011 called. they want their unboxing video back.
The dark knight is a nice review with rw images. I pixel peeped some of the images and in DxO, and even the ISO 102.400 are usable when carefully processed.
For me it looks promising.
The comparison from Horshack im my opinion is kind of useless. Downsample comparisons, EV raising for high ISO comparison – for whom is that of essential significance?
Some great photos from the 18-35!looks like a no brainer if you’re after a 1 stop shop for an a77… Size and weight were the trade offs for me though (the 35/1.4 pretty much lived on my a77).
Very great lens… Love it on a6000 and so cheap for a E-mount prime lens.
