The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

Stunning glass, slightly wider than the classic 24mm. People often ask at the sight of such photos what it was taken for, since there is a wide angle and such a normal bold bokeh, in general, a rare combination. Glass is purely for creative people, reveals the potential of the full frame. What you need for the soul, this is not all your banality, dreary in the form of zooms on a small hole, this is a true fix with a bokeh tube

Pros
  • picture perfect Zero distortion No vignetting One of the smallest and lightest There is a diaphragm twist, it clicks like crazy AF bokeh Aperture Macro Capabilities
Cons
  • No iris lock button No feeling of condom

only buy! in Camera Lenses

I was quite skeptical that the Revain would pay off this investment when I compared it to the Canon 16-35 2.8. after running the test timelapse. Holy Canadian! zero vignetting, zero color shift and sharpness! I love this lens.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Something different

Excellent lens. The best lens for the money.

This is a great lens at any price point. I photographed my dog and found that the lens is so clear I could see myself in his eyes. It's fantastic for low light photography and astrophotography. I was thinking about buying a 24mm GM and after trying this lens for a few days I decided to keep it and use the money saved to buy the DJI Ronin S. This is one of the best lenses for the money.

Pros
  • Rugged finish
Cons
  • Functionality

This lens is phenomenally sharp even wide open.

Sharp at f/1.8. There's a little coma around the edges, but you'll have to look closely at the pixel to see it. I don't like the distortion of anything shorter than 20mm, and 24mm is just too wide. This lens, especially when corrected in LR in a post. Landscape, astrophotography, long exposure, it does it all. The colors are bright. The contrast is pleasing. Just get it. If you're not getting phenomenal results with this thing, then you're not getting the right lens. Tested on Sony A7iii and…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

GM quality for money G.

Already a month. To be honest, complaining about the lens would sound more like a crybaby than anything else. Autofocus is quiet and lightning fast and only struggles on dark or flat surfaces when continuously tracking photos, otherwise no issues. The sharpness is superb and if you google the image quality of this lens you will see for yourself. The images here may not convey true image quality results for this type of lens, so you'll need to find some full-size sample images to see them. Pros:

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Nothing here

Low light expert with fantastic sharpness

So I chose this lens as I like to stick with native glass. I use it on my a7Rii and mainly take landscape and city shots. The examples I provided were some night shots as I chose this lens to be able to do astrophotography. So far, the focus has been on the aesthetics of the lens; I would say it's comparable to GM lenses but cheaper. I'm shooting for a hobby, not a professional, so the GM lens is a bit out of my budget, but that 20mm is the perfect wide-angle focusing distance and f1.8. I now…

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Doesn't go with everything

My new favorite lens

Of course you can't use a wide angle lens for everything, but this lens is very versatile and interesting. I'm amazed at how close you can get to your subject and still be able to focus the lens. Focusing is fast and accurate, vignetting isn't bad in my opinion, even at f/1.8 it seems amazing. The image sharpness is very good. The aperture ring works great with a switch to toggle the latch on and off. This lens has no stabilization, but do you need camera stabilization at all? I'll add that in…

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Useless features

If you're looking for a fast, wide-angle prime lens for the Sony FE and are on a budget, look no further. I am very happy with this lens. It's small and light. It looks solidly built. The optics are as perfect as they can be in this 2020 year. There is no chromatic aberration on my a7iii with Capture One Pro 12. Shooting Stars I can see a SMALL portion of HA, but not enough to bother me in the slightest. .Autofocus is fast and accurate, basically perfect for photos and videos on my a7iii. Focus

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Problems

Sharp, fast, great focus.

I had my doubts about the price of this lens. For a much lower price I could get a slightly slower lens from other manufacturers, but I decided to bite the bullet and go for better quality. I am very happy with this solution. A fast f1.8 lens is great for me as I often shoot in the dark and low light. The image quality is excellent wide open and definitely sharp enough for the shots I'm taking. FOCUS: This new focus control method is far superior to anything I've tried. Nothing I have can match

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • upgrade available
