Overall I am OK with this lens, though if I could go back I would have bought the competing sigma 60 mm lens instead. The photos are acceptable, but if I compare to my Sigma 30 mm lens, this lens is no where near as sharp, though granted, it has a wider aperture and OSS, and is sharp, just not as sharp as the sigma. The reason I chose this over the Sigma was for the OSS, which to my mind with my A6000 would give me a larger number of usable shots. Overall, it is not a bad choice, however, if I had the A6500 with IBIS, I definitely would have gone with the Sigma instead, otherwise it is a toss up, if you want the OSS.

This is the cheapest (best value) autofocus lens I could find for my Sony A5100. I wish it had an easier time focusing. If something is too far away or too close - it tries, but fails to focus which is really annoying. Seems like its "overthinking" and goes right past it being in focus to blurriness and locks in the blur. I took it out in sunset and night time to see how well it worked in low light and it could not focus on my subject for the life of me and I ended up using manual focus. I tried to get photos of my dog in the daylight also and still it takes too long to focus to take a good shot of a moving target. I already have a manual focus lens that I use for artsy stills and close ups. Was hoping this lens would be better. On a positive note though, if you are directing people and having a baby shoot or portrait or family photos, it does a great job of isolating the subject and capturing the good light with its low Fstop.
