I'm a botanist with an interest in very small plants. When I'm out and about I want to carry a camera with a single lens capable of high quality macro photography that will also double as a standard lens for other types of shots. This lens paired with my a7R is perfect in these respects.
I have only been out on one trip with this lens, shooting flowers. I think that its an excellent lens for the a6500!!! (75mm equivalent)I have not really TESTED and compared but I did use auto, manual and video modes. I am very pleased!
Although not the cheapest of lenses in the category, I really like the functionality and ease of use in the lens coupled with my a9.
This lens is wonderful! I was hesitant to buy it at first. I have a 50mm lens, but it's manual focus only. With my eyesight getting worse, I was starting to have problems with my images not being as sharp as I would have liked. This lens has worked beautifully!
I've tried a little macro photography in the past with point and shoot cameras, so with the purchase of a A7r2 I got this lens after some research to try macro with the camera without too much out of pocket cost. So far it seems to do what I want. Mostly snowflakes and flowers.
Second thoughts... If I could edit my earlier review (9/29/2017), I would. Just the "star" rating though. Everything I said is true and correct based on my own experience. Descriptions of strengths, weaknesses, and usability are what they are; I do not retract anything.
The autofocus is very loud and very slow.
