This lens offers a very good dive, almost similar to the 50mm F1.8, with a more convenient angle for common use. The barrel mound a little beyond the infinity setting, consider possibly for the manual focus. Plastic, yet lightweight, cheap and bright, beautiful bokeh. It gives very good results with my Alpha 580, near and far, outdoors and indoors. Serves me for much of my photos. It is a fixed, so to zoom must move!
