I have the objective now for a little over a year and use it whenever you shoot. Could it accordingly test long. Everything is really perfect, but the focus ring is well thought out in my opinion, not good. As soon as you want to adjust something sharp, the patience is increasingly thin. Even the autofocus has in me difficulties, and manually, it can be on the removal usually does not look good if the eyes of the model is sharp. Canon has managed it at cheaper 50mm lenses better with an aperture of f / 1.8, maybe Sony moves indeed finally bigger guns. Namely I miss so much the good middle class with Sony. There are either only low and sufficient quality or Carl Zeiss and infinitely expensive. Oh, and the 50mm f / 1.4 can price might pass for a middle class, is high but unsuitable. But what I preach ... to make yourself a picture is still the best! Best Regards Serena
