2:37 - FINALLY, someone doing this kind of testing to understand how loud the lens is with continuous fire. Thank you!

Letโ€™s be honest 90% of photography in this digital age is editing. With that smooth bokeh people should have no problem making these photos from a $195 lens look like they came out of a $1900 lens.

Nice review. Iโ€™ve had this lens a little over a month now and have done a couple client shoots with it. For portrait work it performed flawlessly for me. The image quality also held up very well on the images I cropped in on.

@tomcalton nice review, thank you. I'm wondering if there was firmware after all, and did improve the AF issues? Thanks!

Thanks for your test. Always great to have so many options for Sony, and of course budget options.

Considering George's beard, might have to switch to animal AF for better accuracy.

Another awesome review and even better video and photos! There is budget and then there is cheap but if you really need a super cheap lens I guess it would get the job done. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Re: the Meike lens. One thing Iโ€™ve never seen mentioned in reviews - so it may or may not be particular to my copy of the lens - is that when shooting with Electronic First Curtain Shutter turned on, there is a gradient shadow (in horizontal orientation) in the top 1/4-1/3 of the frame, increasingly so, at speeds 1/1000 and higher. This is exacerbated by smaller apertures, as well. This does not occur with full-mechanical shutter, nor with full-electronic shutter. A consolation: if shooting outdoors at wide apertures (and therefore faster speeds), itโ€™s best to shoot with full-mechanical shutter, since EFCS causes โ€œbokehโ€ to look choppy or distorted.

It would be super nice if you included the flare test 3:45 without & with the hood.
