Pros

  • I have used it on nearly everything I have ever made. It’s a great, sharp, fast lens. It’s also an excellent lens for photography. I haven’t experienced the auto focus issues that other people have mentioned, but I’m sure we just shoot d...
  • I do food and restaurant videos and it does amazing when you're camera isn't moving too much. Slow pans vertical and horizontal work great too. Good photos as well, very sharp. It's the best budget prime lens with solid quality and optic...
  • I’ve run one for 4-5 years as my go to mid prime. I’ve never had an issue with it and neither have my clients. It’s sharp and lightweight, and the 1.4 is beautiful. For autofocus, it may struggle on tracking fast subjects when wide open,...
  • Currently I have the lens mounted on my a6500 and use it as a web camera for teams. Works fine for that purpose. :D
  • if you can swing the money the Canon 32mm (or sigma 30mm) are quite amazing prime lenses.

Cons

  • Bad, the AF was really bad
  • Atleast for me the autofocus was not very smooth at f1.4. So if you have fast movement towards or away from camera this might not be the best choise.
  • It'll also get wide enough to do lifestyle, although the aperture leaves much to be desired.

I have used it on nearly everything I have ever made. It’s a great, sharp, fast lens. It’s also an excellent lens for photography. I haven’t experienced the auto focus issues that other people have mentioned, but I’m sure we just shoot different things.

I do food and restaurant videos and it does amazing when you're camera isn't moving too much. Slow pans vertical and horizontal work great too. Good photos as well, very sharp. It's the best budget prime lens with solid quality and optics I find. No weird colors

Honorable mention goes to my other two ef-m lenses, the sigma 30mm and the canon 55-200.

Parent context: That’s great. I got the Sigma too but not the canon so I don’t know if the quality between the two are the same or not 😬 Reply: Have taken a few pics around the house and I’m loving it so far. Can’t wait to take it outside😅
