I think the bad autofocus reviews reallyexaggerate. Using eye AF on A7RIII the focus is spot on almost in all shots, and theres almost no hunting. Stopping down the lens a little improves IQ significantly. Im super happy with the results I got mainly from shooting at F2-F2.8.

this is perfect when you only need one lense and you are on the go.

I took my time before purchasing this lens, as although I wanted a fast aperture, prime standard lens I was initially put off by some negative reviews out there. There's not too many native options for full frame on Sony cameras without spending silly money.

Brilliant portrait lens, beautiful Bokeh, lovely in low light for picture quality, focus ring while lovely to spin is a little insensitive for my liking (feels like you have to turn it 5 times around to go from long to short.
