Super, for a mirrorless camera like Sony A7S weighing 480 grams, an everyday fix with a weight of 280 grams is the most. Made in Thailand. You can safely take it, these are not Sigma / Canon plastic lenses. However, even a bu cheaper than 40is not sold in any condition at a price of a new 55 Buying a new one is justified. This focal length does not give geometric distortions of faces and perspectives, so after 35mm this lens is just a bomb. For portraits, Sony 85 / 1.8 will be a little better. But as universal for group photography and for portraits, this 55 / 1.8 must-have on a full Sony frame. With a small increase in aperture ratio to 1.4, the compactness of the mirrorless camera and weight are greatly lost. At the same time, this is not 2,8 like zooms. Optimum quality glass. Since it shoots 55mm, it’s impossible to shoot on any phone, since this focal length gives the correct proportions of faces and the correct lines of objects. And in phones, despite the angle of view due to the small matrix, the focal length of the lenses is like that of widths with fake proportions. But the 35mm lens is already somewhat similar to a phone in terms of the distortion of vertical lines and faces. A must have for the Sony E-mount. I love fifty dollars, there were: Canon 50 / 1.2 (120 tr), Sigma Art 50 / 1.4 (67 tr), Zeiss 55 / 1.8 (55 tr). This Zeiss is the best in terms of the combination of features and image quality and weight and reasonableness. We tested portraits with these different lenses. The Sigma 50/1.4 is very good in the picture but weighs over 800 grams, which is unreasonable given the A7S mirrorless weight of 480 grams. Together with the metabones adapter (200 gr) this is a weight of 1.5 kg. Zeiss 55/1.8 with A7S weighs 774 grams. 2 times less! Yes, I lose a little in aperture ratio, but I get a higher resolution of 64 l / mm instead of 48 l / mm and less weight by 0.7 kg. Examples of photos on Zeiss 55/1.8 were taken on 2 cameras A7S and A7R3 without any processing, pure jpeg from the cameras.
