Yes, and by the way I can with an aperture of 2.8 even with less light suddenly choose shorter exposure times, especially with the SLT cameras (through the loss of a portion of the light through the partially reflecting mirror) important.
Ideal course for macro shooting, although the short focal length is actually suitable only for non-moving subjects (You have to approach very close, but this can be for almost to the glass). But otherwise abfotographieren especially for drawings and photos, but as a normal immerdrauf indoors (where the focal length is here again almost too long, but works just fine).
While it may be true that the lens consists almost exclusively of plastic, I think, but it looks still out really well, is very easy (practically plugged in your pocket), and above all it makes tack-sharp photos on my A55 (and tomorrow hopefully on the A77).
At the price anyway thinking for a second, a fun lens, in any case recommended!
