I am generally using GM lenses so I was left wanting for the lack of aberration. But it is lightweight and reasonably sharp.

I really wanted this lens, mainly because I went with mirrorless for size, among other things. And this pairs so nicely with my a7c. I’ve owned a Samyang 35mm f2.8 for a few months now. It’s small and compact, but probably a tad too small and for some reason I can’t quite explain, I haven’t really loved the pictures. Maybe just not as much as I had hoped. So I decided to upgrade and naturally spend 3 times the money for something .23 times better. Let’s be honest for just a sec. isn’t that what photography is usually all about? Oh well. I just took it out the box, slapped it on my a7c and it looks beautiful. Yes the hood is a bit awkward but that’s expected, they wanted it to be compact so I’m ok with it. The aperture ring is solid. It’s not gonna move around accidentally. I was quite worried about that. It feels a lot like my 20mm f1.8 but half the size. And it’s not as small as I was imagining, but it’s still great. Prob the perfect size. I’ve taken just a few pictures so far and it’s stunning. I can def notice the difference from my samyang. Auto focus is superb. Man I love Sony mirrorless. I struggled for a month decided if I should move forward with this lens. I really wanted a 35mm (trying to sell my Samyang right now). But I do also own a 28mmf2 so I think between that lens and this one (40mm) I’m good. Im not a pro. Just a major hobby I’ve invested way too much money in. So take it with a grain a salt but I felt there should be a review on Amazon just in case you can’t find any of the 16 reviews online or 16 YouTube reviews on this lens. Overall it’s tough to justify if you have a 35mm you love. Like a sigma f2 (ugh. I ended up picking this one over that one and I hope I don’t regret it) or the Sony 1.8 or 1.4. I guess if you really want something slightly more compact than those. Or if you just don’t own a 35mm maybe this one is a good alternative for you. (Again if you truly like the idea of a solid compact lens). For reference I’m able to fit it with my camera in my 5L peak design bag along with my 28mmF2 and my tamron 70-180. I always appreciate people providing that type of info so I hope someone else can appreciate this. I’d also easily be able to include my 55mm zeiss and 20mm f1.8 if I remove the tamron. Just FYI. It’s quite convenient to have a compact package. Not saying all my packages are compact. But not denying it either.

This is an outstanding lens by Sony. What stands out is its build quality, size, and image sharpness. I also love having the aperture ring on the outside of such a tiny lens. The only unfortunate thing about this lens is that it's only an f2.5, but that's only because I prefer the fastest primes. But honestly, f2.5 is more than adequate for 95% of my work. I love this lens in particular for street photography. 40mm is slightly tighter than 35mm but I think it's enjoyable.

I've recently switched my camera and lenses to the Sony E-mount system. I've been wanting to keep a decent range of lenses and wanted a good all purpose prime lens for everyday use when taking portraits and family photos. I have a wide-angle prime and a zoom telephoto for landscape and other photography. This 40mm F2.5 helps fill the gap in-between. The pictures from it have turned out very crisp with subjects in sharp focus. The F2.5 aperture really helps with that. It is also quite fast keeping moving subjects in focus. I have also used it as a webcam when I want to keep more of myself in the frame (If I want other things in the frame, I fall back to the wide angle lens). Overall, highly recommend this for everyday use. Its light weight and decent size make it ideal when travelling. Now I just need to add a macro lens to my arsenal. **I purchased this product at a discounted price, in exchange for my honest appraisal of its performance.**

The Sony FE 40mm F2.5 G lens is lightweight, easy to attach and has the clearest photos! I am super impressed with this lens and I own lots of cameas and lenses. This lens is so lightweight that you can put it in your pocket and not even know it is there. I also like that a few settings are right on the side of the lens, so I do not have to go into the camera settings to change them. These settings are for manual/auto focus and aperture, you can also slide a switch to make the aperture settings click into place or to move freely. The Sony FE 40 mm F2.5 lens even takes amazing macro shots. Macro photography is one of my favorite types of photography. Overall I truly enjoy using this lens for all types of photography.

Why don't they make this for canon cameras? I totally miss this little lens, I fell in love with the performance, it was super fast and super sharp, and for the price, you honestly shouldn't be complaining at all. You want quality on this level it usually runs into the thousands which is why I was highly surprised.

We have a plethora of prime lenses from Sony, but this one is the smallest and lightest one! It would be an ideal camera for a short trip where space and/or weight is limited. The image quality is sharp and the colors are exceptional, as expected from any Sony lens. If you're not too fond of carrying around the large 35mm, this would be perfect for a quick getaway. All in all, a versatile addition to our Sony family of lenses. We use the a7RIII and a7SIII and are satisfied with the image quality on both cameras for both photo and video. I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion.
