Best 35mm AF Prime on the market if.....
on January 5, 2017
Posted by: Cosmo
Verified Purchase:Yes
....if you get a good copy.
This is my second copy of this exact lens and I just want to warn everyone that these lenses (this one in particular) have a very high rate of decentering due to poor QA from Sony. Most of these lenses will come misaligned from the factory and most people won't notice it, but for $1,600 this is unacceptable.
Do yourself a favor and get the lens tested and judge for yourself if the high price tag was worth the shotty QC.

"the 35mm f/1.4 ZA lens is very likely to have some tilt with one corner or side out of the plane of focus. Depending on what you photograph this may make no difference to you, or may be a huge issue. But I doubt sending copy after copy back is going to make much difference (you may trade a soft right upper corner for a slightly soft left side, etc.). We’ve taken a couple of these apart and there’s not a ton of optical adjustments that can be made: there are a set of shims behind the front group that can be modified a bit, but it’s a crude and very time-consuming adjustment, so I don’t think it’s generally going to be something that can be fixed." -Lens Rentals

The best budget full frame camera for the money
on November 14, 2016
Posted by: Cosmo
Verified Purchase:Yes
There is a reason why Canon and Nikon (Nikon is hurting internally right now and Sony is circling them) latest iterations were met with lukewarm reception (looking at you Canon 5D Mk IV) because once you go mirrorless, you won't go back, esp with the growing inventory of native Sony lenses (including Zeiss).
The first you should buy a Sony full-frame is the legendary Zeiss 55 F1.8.

The best medium range zoom available on Sony
on November 14, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
It also rivals the Canon 24-70 F2.8 II
It's expensive but if your income depends on quality glass and hate switching to primes (trust me, this is compares to the legendary Zeiss 55 F1.8 in sharpness) and great color rendition.

The one lens you need to buy for your E-Mount
on November 3, 2016
Posted by: Cosmo
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the legendary Zeiss 55mm F/1.8 that critics say is the best 50mm Prime for the money. You won't find a sharper 50-55mm prime lens for under $1000 with a F/1.8. This is one of the main reasons to switch to Sony's mirrorless system.

This is the best 28mm piece of glass for the money
on October 31, 2016
Posted by: Cosmo
Verified Purchase:Yes
Picked this up for my A6000 as my daily carry lens and the image quality blew me away for the price of this thing.
Beware of CA - but it's $450
Beware of Distortion - but it's $450
Both of these issues can be fixed in post so it's not a big deal for the money.
Think of this as the poor man's version of the legendary Zeiss 24/1.8 for APS-C A6000/A6300.

I needed a new CPU cooler and luckily the local Best Buy had these new Corsairs in stock.
These are fantastic fans and the included SP120 fans have decent static pressure.

First "fast" prime lens you should buy
on October 11, 2016
Posted by: Cosmo
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a great 1st purchase lens to compliment your Sony A6000/A6300/A6500's kit lens (you'll eventually get rid of that lens though).
Everyone should own fast prime lens for low light photography, portraits, product photography, and a good lens to learn on.

Amazing telephoto lens and great sharpness
on October 11, 2016

Picked this up for my Sony A6000 APS-C to fit my telephoto needs and it's working really well with my system. No barrel distortion with mine with a few soft edges at 17mm and F4 wide open, but not noticeable if you're not pixel peeping.

Didn't expect to use this watch everyday, but it has a lot more utility than either of my GShock or my swiss watch.
Battery life is great and it will get you through a whole day.
