I bought this lens for my 'old' NEX camera as my very first manual focus lens, just to try something new about photography. Surprisingly, I gives me a awesome experience! The building quality is great with metal barrel and perfectly tight focusing ring. Image quality is also good with nice bokeh achieved at F1.6. Great lens with only 6,669 JPY! Now I can try getting rid of the boring kit lens.

Bought this lens for 7999 Yen. Firstly it is made out of metal(despite its price)and not plastic so it feels good in the hand , and also durable compared to plastic.
The image quality is decent , and at f/1.8 the bokeh is quite beautiful. The f/1.8 aperature allows more light in thus enabling me to capture up to 1/4000 sec in bright daylight. There is some vignetting due to the wide aperature , but can be fixed using computer software such as lightroom. The focusing ring feels great when using and I can quickly change the focus spot. Overall , a really solid lens at the current price point , and I would strongly recommend this lens to my friend whos using sony aps-c camera.
