" ... Yes there is better 50mm lenses, but they're like 10x pricier . ... "

" ... I recently bought a Sony A6500 and instead of buying several cheap lenses I bought one really good one. ... Don’t get me wrong, that lens and body combo is really sweet but after trying it out for a few weeks I ended up returning both. ... For the same price of the A6500 and the Zeiss 24mm I got an A7rii (Amazon Warehouse used like new) and this “cheap” lens and I’m telling you the difference is night and day. ... As with most lenses, wide open is pretty soft. ... Quick Tip: Update your camera body AND the lens ... Both the body and lens were one version behind current. ... "

" ... Use it specially for portraits where focusing speed is not required ... "
" ... Nothing gets me more excited about photography than to snap a picture and immediately review it, zoom it in 100% and see a sharp, clear image. ... The short time I had with the Zeiss 24 kind of got me spoiled with ridiculously fast auto focus. ... "
" ... This lens struggles a tad to autofocus in less than perfect conditions yet sharp enough to do the job when it does focus correctly. ... "
" ... If, however, you plan to use or learn manual focus, this lens is a solid bargain. ... "
" ... This lens went from hunting for focus over and over to snapping onto subjects surprisingly fast. ... "
" ... A touch slow in the focus department but very sharp optically. ... "
" ... Slow auto focus at times but pictures are sharp and accurate ... "
