Amazon was the only dealer who had the Sony not continuously offered lens stock. Shipping as always quickly and easily. The lens meets all high expectations on the image quality: 1. reproduction of detail and sharpness outstanding! 2. The high light intensity brings the known advantages as interesting Schärfeverlauf at close range, more economical use of light or substantial absence of artificial illumination and short exposure times and thus low risk of camera shake. 3. The autofocus motor reacts reliably and super clamp and is barely audible. The first use of the lens in a portrait and fashion shoot was a great success. Since Sony image stabilization in the camera body and not sitting - such as Canon or Nikon - the lens, the lens of the front is in cheaper. In every respect five stars!
