The first thing I noticed is that the autofocus doesnt work. I could take pictures with it in manual mode but if I switched it to auto it would just whir constantly like it was trying and failing to focus. Figured "oh well I can ignore that". Kept trying and failing to take decent photos in anything except direct sunlight. Chalked it up to user error because I was rusty using a DSLR. Set it to manual with the aperture on 1.8, ISO on 3200... Photo was still so dark I couldnt see anything. Looked at the lens and realized that the aperture was not open! It was not moving at all in response to me adjusting the aperture through the camera. My other lens is working just fine. Going to try to return this. I threw out the box when I got the package so I dont know if Ill be able to return it but.... Fingers crossed. Update: Decided to order a replacement since everyone elses reviews seemed so good. Figured I just got unlucky with a defective item. Replacement shipped to my mom and little sisters house instead of mine- I dont recall picking this option. It just chose the lady address I used instead of sending the replacement to the same location as the original. It reported as "Delivered- handed off directly" so I called my mom to ask if my package arrived and she had no clue what I was talking about! And neither did my sister! NO package arrived, but Amazon reported it as being handed off! To who??? I cant order another replacement. So now I am out $60 and have to pay to send back a broken lens, did not receive my replacement.
