Excellent 'niche' lens for the money

I bought this lens primarily for night/astro photography. However, I am basing this review on simply booting up the lens on my Sony a7s and taking pictures of my house. The picture quality is pretty good. The lens is quite sharp for the price. Depending on the ratio of the light direction, the lens loses a lot of contrast. If the light comes from the side, some contrast is lost. Forgot backlight. For night photography this isn't a problem unless you're dealing with a street light, but maybe itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Super multi-coated to reduce flare and ghosting
Cons
  • Not happy with everything

Good, cheap lens, but BEWARE OF DECENTERING!

Great lens, great value at an unbeatable price. It's cool IF you can get a good copy. However, as many on the internet have said, the lens has many mismatch and misalignment issues. I've heard about this problem from a lot of people online, but figured if it was at least consistent enough, I wouldn't mind keeping a lens that costs under $300 and is so specialized that I rarely use it anyway would. . Instead, I received a virtually useless lens. According to my tests, the lens has good centerโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Outstanding design and build quality for razor-sharp images. Sagittal lines (thick lines) represent the contrast
Cons
  • Some small things

Good lens, but distortion can be difficult.

Combined with my [full frame] A7S as an affordable astrophotography option. This little guy allows me to get a full 30" exposure from the sensor without having to resort to bulb mode, resulting in a ton of light/stars with no blowout! Between that and a field of view of around 110* at full frame, this is a great landscape lens for photography on the go or for gigs in small clubs. The focus ring complicates the manual aspect a bit. It rotates over 180* which can barrel and wide angle in generalโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Optical Image Stabilizer provides up to 4 levels of exposure compensation.
Cons
  • Some cons
