This lens is incredible. I shot a ton of stuff on vacation in the mountains with this lens and the landscapes look beautiful. I also did a bunch of night time astrophotography and they all look gorgeous. The sharpness and color rendition is excellent. Like most lenses, a little less sharp and darker in the corners, but not too bad and can be mostly fixed in post. What really blew me away is how small it is. I’m new to mirrorless, so maybe that’s a part of it, but it’s still small compared to the Sony 85mm f/1.8 I also picked up. It’s really compact on the body and makes a great walk around lens. Wish it was a little wider though, such as 24mm often found on Canon, but I wonder if they couldn’t get it quite this compact otherwise. It’s a great all around lens with great build quality and I highly recommend it as a no-brainer purchase for starting to build your mirrorless kit because the quality is amazing at this price point.

Versatile small lens, sharp photos
I've had this lens for a couple of weeks, and it stays on my Sony a7 more often than I expected. I'm not a rabid pixel peeper, but I work with full frame raw files in Lightroom and I know the difference between a properly focused shot and a fuzzy one. My photos with this lens are sharp and it functions smooth as butter with my a7. It's one of the least expensive Sony full frame e-mount lenses, and I decided to try it because of that. I have not been disappointed - to the contrary, it's exceeded my expectations - and I intend to keep it. I'm finding that I like this focal length for "all purpose" use, more than a 35mm or 50mm lens. I'm uploading some shots I took last week in a park. This is a versatile lens. Of course it's not a macro, but I was happy to get some good shots of individual flowers, under tricky lighting. Some of these photos are cropped; all have been very minimally processed including conversion from RAW to JPG files.

Sony got it right with this high-value lens. It's surprisingly sharp for the price and has very nice bokeh. Excellent for landscapes and big scenes. It's my go-to lens for street and vacation photos. It's fast enough to capture most hand-held low-light situations with the A7RII. While plastic construction, it feels good in the hands and is definitely not flimsy construction. I'm still getting used to the fly-by-wire manual focus on these lenses, but so far have found it to be quite usable. After also buying the 55mm super-sharp Zeiss glass, I find myself wanting just a bit more sharpness, but it's still leaps and bounds beyond my old equipment. Finally, my one gripe is that it wasn't packaged with a rear lens cap. Had to pick that up separately. Seems like a cheap addition to the package, but I wont let it tarnish the rating of this lens.
Next, I'm picking up the Sony wide-angle adapter.
No regrets at all with the purchase. Well worth every penny.
