Works great as a stand alone lens or when paired with the ultra wide angle or fish eye lens to take amazing photos

Most people that complain about this lens, have not spent enough time learning how to set the camera properly... to get great photos

This review is meant for people to decide if THEY would be fine with the test shots for decent everyday photos (family, events, etc

The UWA and Fisheye converters have been fun to use and resulted in some surprisingly good photos

Otherwise you'd have to set the camera down or be prepared to have bad photos or have a tripod to have better photos.

I thought the camera was combersome and didn't take great photos, so I sold the whole system including this lens.

I did also contact Sony about the lens and they try troubleshooting it over the phone but the lens still did not produce good quality photos

The lense takes great photos but if you are wanting to keep the camera smaller just know that it has no zoom and doesn't take as good of pictures as the other lense.

Bottom line, well built solid steel construction and very good in low light, produces clear colorful photo's

Otherwise you'd have to set the camera down or be prepared to have bad photos or have a tripod to have better photos.

This wide angle lens is very small, thin, and light weight, nut it also gives you good quality photo

Even stopping it down I cannot produce any tack sharp photos on the a5000

Learn your camera and you will get better photos, from almost any lens, you put on the NEX 7.

He uses it all the time and it takes amazing wide angle photos.
