Sel-55F18Z 35mm Full-Frame, E-Mount Prime Lens Sel55F18Z.Ae, Black

The box was not sealed. I open it and on the focus ring I found a scratch. Fix the lens on my camera but a weird loud noice came when I tried to focus. I thought is a mistake and I apply for return and obviously choose to get a new same lens not the money. I have got the reply that I can’t get a new one and I have to choose a voucher or money back on my card.

love the size and the picture quality.

The lens works well. However, beware about the warranty issue. Although it sold by Amazon.sg, it's not like Lazada Mall. I have trouble registering the warranty and Sony told me it is not local set and Amazon customer service told me to contact manufacturer... So just take note.

Ela é o que realmente falam dela: uma ótima aquisição para a Sony. Eu estava usando ainda as lentes Canon com adaptador na minha A7III mas queria lentes próprias para a Sony e super me recomendaram a 55 Zeiss, e estou simplesmente amando ela!!! Ainda estou me adaptando com o tempo de focagem dela, mas acho que é só questão de ajuste dona/câmera/lente hahahah Mas para mim até agora está sendo ótima!!

何かと評価の良いレンズ 画質も好みだし軽量なのも良い

I just want to clear this up that I said "nearly perfect" because it lacks OSS. I would rate this lens as a 4.9 simply because OSS would be great but not necessary. The lens is sharp corner to corner regardless of aperture. The corners soften very slightly only at extreme f stops. But it's definitely very sharp even at f1.8 Very little CA and distortion across the range. I shoot mostly 2.8 to 4.0 and pictures come out perfect most of the time. The tiny imperfections here and there that I spot from pixel peeping wasn't even worth correcting. Image Quality is extremely high. It is the sharpest lens I've ever used. It handily beat my 50mm 1.2L on my 5DMK3. I paid $1.6k for the 1.2L and it's hard to believe this lens is only $1k. I don't know how to explain it but the Zeiss lens renders the image a little different. The colors seems to pop more and it just look livelier than my L series lens. AF is better than the stock 28-70mm. It generally will lock in faster with less hunting. It works much better in low light conditions. It seems to be more accurate overall. Focusing ring is smooth. I would say it's above average but nothing to write home about. It works and allows accurate manual focus. Construction is solid. It is a bulky lens compared to how compact my A7 is. However, this is nothing compared to the bulk and weight of Canon body and lens I'm used to. I can actually walk around and shoot all day(if I bring 2 extra batteries) with the Sony system. My only comparison for its compactness is against the 35mm Zeiss. The 35mm really inspires me to make it a walk around set up. It can easily slip inside a small bag or hang on my body without getting in the way. I can't say the same with this 50mm. It's not impossible, just more difficult. But there is no comparison with picture quality. The 50mm is clearly superior in every way. Conclusion: The lens may seem expensive when you only look at its specs. The results are stunning and performance is up their comparable to the legendary Otus lens. At $1k, this is a steal IMHO. A must have lens for anyone using the A7/R bodies. I will try to post some pictures and update my review. You won't find me dig deep into the technicals since there are more reputable and highly qualified people than me. I will only tell you from a user's perspective and satisfaction of the product.

This lens is very close to my heart. The perfection and the sharpness that this lens has is truly remarkable. According to DXO mark list this is one of the top 10 sharpest lens in the market currently. One of the best parts about the lens is its lack of weight. Combined with my Sony A7III on a gimbal this produces amazing videos. And it's even better for portraits.
