high quality, sharp, dampened focus,

Manual focus feels good and the image quality is great, especially in low-light scenarios

The manual focus and aperture are super easy to use on the

If you shoot landscape or astro, you're likely focused at infinity all the time, so manual focus is not a big issue

Also I believe that a prime lens should have a good solid infinity focus instead of focusing beyond infinity, which this did.

I've already mentioned the stiff focus ring

Manual focus is hard to get used to

However, what makes for the most fun is setting this baby at f/2.8 and utilizing this INSANE close focus distance.

Manual focusing works well with the focus peaking camera function.

i.e., you can turn the focus ring PAST infinity and into a very soft focus state

However its very stiff manual focus ring

One cons I would comment here is Stiff manual focus ring

It has a weighty feel to it and smooth focus and aperture rings.

On the plus side, you are not likely to bump the focus out of place

and it is super easy to get shots in excellent focus almost every time

I hate manual focusing and on this lens, it is so easy.

Keep in mind it is a manual focus, but with the focus aids of the Sony a6000, good focus is easy

When mounted to the body, there's a tiny bit of play, which becomes all the more evident thanks to the stiff focus ring

The distance/focusing gauge on the exterior of the lens is also helpful.

Manual focus is tough at first but Sony's af assist is useful

When focused to infinity at the stars, the corners were surprisingly good wide open

Manual focus is really easy.

Happily, my copy seems to be spot on, and I was able to get a sharp shot of a water tower at infinity at f/2 with the focus moved to its hard focus stop position

Manual focusing works well with the focus peaking camera function.

I would spend a little extra on the Cine version, same image quality but aperture and focus are more precise plus follow focus ready.
