The lens has virtually the same size as the kit lens, which must be clear to everyone - the processing is extremely good, just a "Carl Zeiss" lens, which is produced at the highest level; the price is high, absolutely, but that you buy also an extremely sustainable, high-quality lens (which are always very stable in value) ...
From the technical side of the lens cuts in the tests always extremely well off, I do not need it enter, anyone can google yourself ...
But as it is reflected in everyday use?
My basis for comparison is my second camera, a Canon 5D incl. Various L lenses ...
Wow - really impressive, the focus is crisp even in low-light photography, has an extremely good color rendering and there are way prevents distortion to the edge ... of any (veteran) photographer who test pictures with the camera and the lens does, is impressed (photographers have always the habit of immediately in the image full zooming due to the sharpness to control the border areas and to assess the bokeh and color rendering) - we hear there really only words like "Boaaaahh", "madness", " Impressive "," Does' s that? " etc ...
Rarely had so much fun with a camera like the last party where you had to look for the light (light is something else). Output of photos can be seen, the autofocus works soooo fast !!!
Tip for Parties (Nex-7 includes this lens.):
1. Just try the autofocus of (I assume otherwise very rarely her) - The camera seems to guess what I want to photograph
2. Uses the built-in flash - but keep this 90 degrees upward for indirect flash, a super function
The "Acquisition pain" was so like the camera itself quickly forget the reward is that you usually re has a camera (which with heavy SLR cameras was like my 5d rare), and the lens is just WOW!
