I ordered my Xt3 with the lens in the kit because it was out of stock and I needed a second body to shoot with (a7iii). I got this lens after watching youtube I'm so glad the pictures from this lens are amazing! Now I use this lens and camera more than the Sony a7iii, it's a pleasure to focus with, it's fast and quiet and it's light, what more could you ask for? If you're on the fence I'd pay double for this lens again in a heartbeat! This really is a gem!
