Perfect lens for video shooters and photographers.Have been a experienced cinematographer and highly appreciate the quality of the lens. Af is really quick but there is little bit of focus motor noise but not a deal breaker. Value for money. Suits on my sony zv e10

I am using this lens with my Sony A6100.Positives:23mm fl gives a versatile 35mm field of view which is ideal for general purpose photography. At F1.4 the performance and sharpness is very good. Quite a few sample pics are at 1.4 because of low light, you may see the overall rendering, quite good I think.Light weight for a F1.4 lens. This is a big positive. As a hobbyist this is a key aspect - with a stellar lens which is heavy you will most likely not take the camera out at all.Build quality is excellent and focus and aperture rings operate smoothly.Sharpness is quite good even at F1.4, by F2.8 it is very sharp all across. Images have good contrast. There is noticeable vignetting at F1.4 which I sometimes remove using lens profile correction or keep it for artistic expression.Lastly price is a big plus given the performance. Coming from a Fujifilm system, this lens along with the Sigma 18 50 F2.8 can be cheaper than the Fuji 23 F1.4 alone. And IQ wise this lens is not bad at all considering I am used to a lot of Fuji lenses which are stellar.Downsides:The lens freezes on rare occasions - once per 50 to 100 shots on my Sony A6100. I have to switch off and then back on, or remove the battery and put back. I have updated the firmware on the lens after this happened few times. So far it is fine. Will update if the issue happens again.Update: The issue has not resurfaced after the firmware update even after 2 months.Some Ghosting and artifacts will appear on strongly backlit shots, and there are some halos around bright light sources like street lights. This is where the Fujifilm lenses are much better, but not the cheap Sony kit lenses - those are even worse.Purple & Green fringing is present in high contrast areas - but this can be easily fixed in post processing.Overall a great lens I would definitely recommend buying. Attached some pics I took with this lens.

There is cromatic aberation is there when we are in F1.4
