Produces wonderfully natural looking images
This lens isn't known for its sharpness, and often gets bad reviews by those who are slaves to fashion and tests that have no real world relevance. It's not soft; it's just not razor sharp. People focus on razor sharpness because it's unnatural..
A good lens
I had mixed feelings about buying this lens given the varied reviews it seemed to get. Took the plunge as wanted a new lens for family holiday to alaska. The Sony G lens with slightly wider focal length of 18-105 was tempting but the compact size and weight of this lens clinched it.
The center area is sharp going toward the edges and corners is unusable, soft and does not get better by stopping it down. From all practical purposed this lens is one notch above useless.
