Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good one.

Purchased for use with the A7III camera. Dolga selected between him, Sigma 50 1.4 and Zeiss Sonnar 55 1.8.

As a consequence of this, I decided to purchase it, despite the fact that it was used; as a result, I saved forty percent compared to the price of a brand new one. In general, because the design is so dependable, I do not believe that there was any error in this.

The sole advantages of the Zeiss 55 1.8 are its weight, which is four times lighter, and its lack of noise (in this case, the activity of the focusing motors during continuous focusing can be heard, which may discourage people from purchasing it for video).
Both of these things don't matter in my opinion.

The Sigma comes in at a substantially lower cost and has a minimum focus distance that is only slightly better.
The latter was brought to its current state by the theft of used products.

There is nowhere to use it at the moment, but after it has been isolated, I plan to begin actively shooting.

Pros

- The sharpness of the image - the aperture - the bokeh effect - The speed and dependability of the focus - Assembling (reliable, made of steel) In general, all reviewers agree that this is the best 50mm full frame portrait lens available.

Cons

- The amount of weight. This lens has the distinction of being the heaviest one in my collection thus far. It's kind of odd because it weighs probably between 150 and 200 grams more than even a 70-350 crop telephoto lens. - Price. At this price, it is over 2.5 times more expensive than a comparable Sigma lens that possesses identical qualities. - A buzzing sound can be heard when shifting the focus (this only occurs in AF-C mode; AF-S mode is unaffected). - There was not a hood provided with it. You won't be able to place an order for your own in the year 2022 since it will be too expensive to bring it from Japan, the United States, or Europe. - There is not an additional button that may be customized on the lens (this feature was introduced with the new G and GM series). - No stabilization.
