OK But Could Use Updating I use this on my alpha 850. I like its low weight and small size. But in pixel peeping it's not that sharp outside of the center even stopped down and has too much chromatic aberration (although that can largely be fixed with software). July 11, 2010

Crisp Images For crystal clear crisp images this is the lens to have and at 2.8 not much light is needed to attain these great shots. From being light weight and easily mounted to great candid photo's not to mention the right price. This lens definately gets 2 thumbs up November 20, 2008
