Customers are mixed about the aperture of the camera lenses. Some mention that it has a smooth aperture and focus, and the metal build is great. The manual lens is great for focusing on the things you want in focus, although the focusing turns clockwise to focus far. The focus distance is also really short, so you can get close to the objects and even have macro. However, some say that they are not always able to get great focus on the eyes 100% of the time, and that the ring is narrow and at the front of the lens.

"...So really no - points for it being manual.It's got smooth adjustment rings, with the focus being at the front and 0.6-16ft then infinity...." Read more

"...turned (Aperature Priority, Auto ISO (Max 3200) on that I can manually focus really fast...." Read more

"...The all metal build is great and my focus ring is great and has a pretty good throw...." Read more

Wide Open Lens that Wont Empty Your Wallet

Wide Open Lens that Wont Empty Your Wallet
So your getting serious about photography and you learn about your F stops(aperture) and know primes are the way to go. And wide open, ie lower than 2, gives you that cool bokeh effect(blur) but all the lenses are hundreds of dollars and you spent everything on your camera already.Well this lens to the rescue. I saw it, no reviews yet but for the price I jumped on it and paid extra to get it here quick. Short and to the point this thing is awesome. Great bokeh. Is a $600 lens better? Probably, but I don't know. I don't have that kind of money, so can't compare. I've attached a few test shots though. Bare in mind it's going to take me awhile to learn to manual focus well. I may need to turn on focus peeking. But this is still worth it and 9 out of 10 times you need to adjust the auto focus anyway. So really no - points for it being manual.It's got smooth adjustment rings, with the focus being at the front and 0.6-16ft then infinity. 1.8-16fIt's nice and sharp as well.Example photos:Strawberry patch, good example of background blurKohlrabi front and back blurDog inside, dark background nice detailsDog outside, I over exposed him but nice background and nice grass detailGrass seeds: lighter blur with high F#Paw and rug: shows detail capable, this was an extreme cropCrop of Holiday lightsHoliday lights at 1.8fIt came in a nice black box. So would make a great gift.Seriously I'm thrilled with this thing. I'm sure someone will come along and compare to the more expensive lenses. These reviews usually show miner differences, like sharpness in the corners but that's not why you buy a low F prime lens. You buy it for sharp main subject and that nice bokeh, and this has both.The ring on the front for filters and such is 46mm, should you want to use filters.It's a bit longer than the kit lens(when not extended).It is metal construction.And it did come with the cleaning kit in the product photo, gloves and all.The only down side I found is, due to it being manual, the aperture does not record in the exif and shows as 0.0 F number and 1.0 max f on all photos taken with it. That's a bit of a bummer, especially if you post in photo groups who ask for the exif. But it's still a minor inconvenience and the quality matters much more.If this were auto focus it would be my main lens, but auto focus would make it cost more. As it is I'm using it a lot for non-moving subjects and having lots of fun with it.

It's got smooth adjustment rings, with the focus being at the front and 0.6-16ft then infinity. 1.8-16f

It's nice and sharp as well.

Example photos:

Strawberry patch, good example of background blur

Kohlrabi front and back blur

Dog inside, dark background nice details

Dog outside, I over exposed him but nice background and nice grass detail

Grass seeds: lighter blur with high F#

Paw and rug: shows detail capable, this was an extreme crop

Crop of Holiday lights

Holiday lights at 1.8f

It came in a nice black box. So would make a great gift.

Seriously I'm thrilled with this thing. I'm sure someone will come along and compare to the more expensive lenses.

It is metal construction.

And it did come with the cleaning kit in the product photo, gloves and all.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice manual focus lens
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2020
This is a fully manual lens with no data communication back to the camera body. You’ll have to enable the shutter release w/o lens. The build quality is good. The focusing ring turns smoothly with just the right amount of resistance. The overall size is very compact.

The distance marking is not very accurate. The focusing turns clockwise to focus far which is in opposite direction from other emount lenses. These are minor issues for me.

The picture quality is surprisingly good. It’s pretty sharp. There are some vignetting and visible barrel distortion. These can be easily corrected in Lightroom. The attached photos were not post processed.

In all, this is a very nice budget manual focus lens

5.0 out of 5 stars Great lens for the price
Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2017
The lens is sharper than I expected for the price. Everything except the extreme corners is very clear. There is some vignetting wide open, but nothing that can't be fixed in post, and it goes away when stopped down. The only real downside I noticed is on some night shots - there is significant flare from street lights in the shot. I think I will simply not use the lens outside at night, since it doesn't have the nice coating more expensive lenses use to control flare. I took a few test shots of the evening sun, and saw some minor flaring in one shot but none in others. I needed a manual focus lens to use on my NEX 6, which has stopped reliably communicating with my auto focus lenses. This lens has surpassed my expectations given the price, and I am very happy with it. Just note the weakness with flare due to (I assume) no expensive coating.

I have uploaded two (cropped) photos to illustrate the depth of focus possible with the 1.8 aperture, and the flare which can happen from some types of lamps at night.

Update 11/29/2017

I have taken many more test shots at night, and the artifacts I saw on my first test with the one lamp are not typical. There is still some flaring, but it is not generally as distracting as in my earliest examples, and I think this lens is suitable for nighttime photography. I will leave the example as something that can happen, but am revising my rating from 4 to 5 stars since such flaring is not typical - just something to watch for.

This lens is amazing! I was wanting a different lens than just the kit lens that I have for my Sony a5000 and I’m so glad I chose this one. As you can see the photos turn out stunning! Great for still life, macro and landscape photography. The price point is also something that is a big pro.
