I’ve just bought one too for my A7R, and I share your view. It feels nice on the camera, it’s pretty sharp, although it’s not in the same league as the 55/1.8 and 35/2.8. Colour, contrast, flare resistance and focus speed are all excellent, but there’s too much distortion for a modern prime. Consequently sharpness suffers due to software correction, especially in the corners. I like the lens and I’ll certainly keep it, but I think Sony could’ve done a better job here.

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
