The OSS helps getting sharper shots even shooting at1/200 or faster

The f/1.8 setting is great for beautiful close-up shots

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.

Has optical stabilization to smooth video shots.

I got perfectly crisp bright shots despite the terrible lighting

I've taken many beautiful shots and portraits with it

By 1/6 I still had 80% of the shots usable, but they weren't as sharp as the 1/13 and up shots

This lens is great for portraits and landscape shots.

The long lens combined with the wide-open aperture makes for some beautiful shots.

Crystal clear and very sharp head shots.

I was able to get almost all shots sharp at 1/25, and 80% at 1/13.

Great macro shots, too, by cropping a shot made from about 15 inches away

This lens produces magical shots

It takes beautifully sharp shots with loads of bokeh goodness.

Great lens for portraits and takes beautiful iso shots with the blurred effect inn the background

Fun lens, combined with affordable photo editing software, should allow you to take great shots with rare need to get higher zoom than 50mm x 1.5 crop factor (75mm).

Got some nice shots on my entry-level DSLR without much expectations going in.

Got it for my NEX 7, and it takes amazing shots.

This lens combined with my a6000 gets me way more usable shots compared to what my Nikon 5100 used to do.

not a "professional" photographer).The OSS allows you to use a slower shutter speed--good for those quasi-static indoor, poor-lighting shots

I'm using it on a Sony a7, so images are cropped from 22Mpixel to 10Mpixel, but I get good, clean shots with it!

Fast prime, takes excellent shots even @ 1.8
