The quality is at the highest level, be sure to try it.

Filter diameter 72. But it's wide! I use this lens on a Sony A6400. I bought from my hands with a good discount and did not lose!

Pros
  • Great lens! Very good sharpness, light and compact. There are no backlashes, there is no dangling on the camera, the focus ring is very smooth. The price is just great! The landscapes are amazing!
Cons
  • It chromates a little more than "native" lenses, there is no autofocus (but it's not really needed for landscape scenes)

The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

As a result - one of my favorite lenses on the Sony a6000 despite all the shortcomings. When you set the aperture to f / 5.6, you no longer need to turn the focus ring, the depth of field is huge. My favorite landscape lens, most often on my camera and there is no adequate replacement for it yet. Got pros: - Compact for such a focal length and aperture - Good build quality, but there are nuances - Very sharp - Very wide - Perfectly balanced on camera Some cons: - In my copy, the focus ring…

Very good for the price!

First of all, this is my first wide-angle lens, so take whatever comes next with caution. This lens is amazing! I'm not entirely sure what quality to expect from a lens this cheap compared to a lens three times the price, but I'm very impressed. Images look sharp and clear, especially in landscapes, which is what this lens is used for. a type of plastic that could easily break when shooting in the field. The membrane ring has an anti-lice click that feels good. Which manufacturer would add the…

Best price for this product, will buy more!

There is a lens with a wider angle on the market, but I chose this one because at this angle there is no hypertrophied perspective distortion. For shooting where a wider angle is needed, I use Samyang 8mm f / 2.8 UMC Fish-eye Sony E (after I edit sometimes, but the perspective is hypertrophied). By the way, fisheye is also a puffy lens. I have been waiting a long time for this lens to appear on sale, as well as the Samyang 10mm f/2.8 ED AS NCS CS Sony-E, which I may also purchase. The subject

Pros
  • 1. Nothing backlash, everything turns smoothly, very good workmanship, good design. It's very nice to take it in hand. 2. Light fast. 3. Very compact. 4. Sharp, even on an open hole. The edges of the image are also surprisingly sharp. 5. The distance scale matches the distance to the object being photographed. (The distance must be measured from the object being photographed to the sensor, and not to the front lens of the lens). 6. A very wide shooting angle - 98.5 diagonally, while the image does not have strong distortions inherent in ultra-wides.
Cons
  • 1. Slight chromatic aberrations, as in all widths. 2. Strong vignetting on an open hole (it is no longer observed on a slightly covered hole). 3. A small pillow, but not undulating (this is already a plus).
