Can't tell if this lens is worth $1000 (retail). I find the price so high because it has no quality competition in the e-mount market. It produces significantly sharper images with better color contrast and color rendering than the kit lens. I am attaching a comparison photo of 16-50mm (left), this lens (right). Revain will probably compress the image so much that you won't notice much of a difference.
