First Sony lens Ben a canon shorter since 2004 Nikon before that. It seems to be first of all sharp second good contrast and flare is minimal. I would definitely recommend it if you like small lenses.

Perfectly sharp! Dead quiet autofocus! Great value! If youre looking for something a little wider than 50mm and you want to travel light, this is the lens for you. The build quality is fantastic and typical of Sony. I have no complaints.

Enjoying this lens so far. It's nice to have a lens of this caliber, at this size. I had been using adapters for older A-Mount lenses previously, which was getting kinda bulky. Now my bag is much lighter and cleaner. This was a great change and with better performance than my previous set up.

They're compact enough to carry all three, so you're ready for great shots across a range of scenes and subjects, and the similar weight even makes gimbal rebalancing easy.
Intuitive, metal design and clear optics
