Except for the odd rattle that one has at Sigma lenses in the camera side is switched off, that's a kick-ass and also bright lens with a very nice bokeh. I use it on the Nex 6 and it's really great. Class and sharp image with a lot of depth. Surely so many superior expensive camera and lens combination. And lo and behold ... Lens Hood Included. The workmanship and material quality is also very good.
