  • Great lens the image quality is outstanding, I just got the wrong mount.
Size: E Mount *: 35mm T1.9
Incredible lens, the image quality is amazing! I will say it is dreamy especially if you pair it with a mist filter, I am giving it a 2 star because the lens is supposed to be a PL mount, not an e mount, I just didn't want to Wait another month to exchange it.
