The product did not disappoint, the quality pleases.

Judging by foreign reviews, where this glass is compared in sharpness with 24 / 1.4 gm, and it is not much inferior to it there, I came across an unsuccessful copy. I returned it to the store with a claim for quality, after three weeks the manufacturer approved the return, and returned the money, although I asked for a lens with uniform sharpness. But since I live in a not very big city, you can buy a subject only with delivery from other cities, and it is not possible to determine the problem upon receipt. you need a large space for infinity, and so far there is no particular need for it, I decided to wait for other reviews, maybe you can still find a good copy

Pros

Light, like the whole new line, especially after the manual 24 / 1.4 from the same manufacturer. Fast autofocus on a7-3, nice blur. Button to turn on infinity, convenient for astro, no need to constantly catch focus in the dark on the stars

Cons

With my lens, the right edge with the open and up to 2.8 was noticeably soapy, relative to the center and left edge, which was very upsetting, since the manufacturer positions it as a lens for astro shooting, and of course it’s better to shoot this genre at maximum aperture to collect more light.
