I'm amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

Take it as soon as you get the chance. At one time I snatched it out as the only one in Hong Kong. I don't regret one bit.

The choice of purchase was determined by a weighted price / quality ratio. The picture quality is at the level of top-end zooms, and the price is very pleasing compared to Sony's native glasses.
This lens does not distort the color of the main picture. Gives out one to one without yellowness and blueness. I tend to believe that the lens has its own artistic drawing. The difference from the staff member of the G-series is only in the nature of the bokeh. In the tamron, it is more torn, but noticeable only upon closer examination. I was not ready to overpay for this little thing with a whole hundred

Pros

1) Autofocus speed. Specially tested on SONY a7R, the result is great! I thought that the R series would be retarded with this lens, but no! Comparable, but inferior in speed by about 10% SONY A7 ii. I consider this to be very good. 2) Dimensions and weight. It is smaller and lighter than SONY's G-master staff! 3) I read here that it’s uncomfortable to wear a hood . Nonsense! Very convenient. And the click is characteristic, and it is easy to put into the marching version. I was pleasantly surprised by the lens cap, which is easily removed and very well fixed on the lens thread. 4) Tactilely pleasant lens. The material is light but looks good. Rubber focus and zoom rings. 5) There is a rubber seal on the bayonet ring. This is another application for the PRO series. 6) Aperture and sharpness worthy of more top-end and more expensive glasses. This also draws on the PRO series. 7) Paired with SONY a7 ii, all declared modes that are inherent in native glasses work properly. There are no comments yet. 8) Silence drive focusing.

Cons

1) No stub. Without it, you have to significantly shorten shutter speeds when used on SONY a7R. 2) No buttons on. and off. manual mode. Although this can be done in the carcass. Not critical. 3) Poor equipment from the factory. Box, lens and document. Everything.
