I should have looked better, spent money on an ordinary product.

I put it on a Sony A7M2 mirrorless camera, there is a small vignetting zone in a circle, it is removed in the camera settings. In general, it is suitable for certain tasks.

Pros
  • Compact wide-angle lens, all-metal, lens hood and cap also metal, price 5 times less than analogues with autofocus
Cons
  • Despite the impressive aperture, the lens is rather dark, and there is also strong distortion not only at the edges, but also closer to the center of the frame. Blur areas raise questions about the quality of glass manufacturing.

Amazing Manual Lens for Sony

Based on my observations, this lens truly brings out the best in my Sony camera. The manual focus is easy to use and produces incredible images with crisp details. The build quality is top-notch and the lens is surprisingly affordable for its quality. The only downside is the lack of autofocus, which may not appeal to some users. Overall, I highly recommend this lens to any photography enthusiast looking for a high-quality manual lens for their Sony camera.

Pros
  • High-quality images with sharp details and vibrant colors
Cons
  • Manual focus may require more time and practice to master
