First of all: I judge the lens as a dedicated amateur photographer purely subjective. Evaluate measurement and then have enough journals - by the way, with similar results! Nearly 1,000 times lie flat for a standard lens, which is already a house number. Zeiss and Sigma has long been my question, but after 4 weeks use I am convinced that I have made the right choice with Sigma. One might almost say: people, start your tour, as soon you get anything better! Mechanically and optically a piece of cake, colors and bokeh tip, and an almost unrivaled sharpness starting aperture 1.4, the maximum is at aperture 5.6 /. 8 with an average of 2032 LP / H, here at Canon 5D M2. Not to mention the autofocus: who sits on the point. As some other buyers have probably had more problems? ... To date, there is probably no reviews on Sony Alpha cameras, but for those interested, there is an enlightening page in the Internet: [...] I highly recommend this lens, despite weighing 816 g and perhaps for some, despite the lack of rubber lip!
