I Bought this for use with the Sony Alpha 1 and I have a Sony FX-9. Nice lens for the money. Specifically bought this to use , because it's super light-weight , with the Weebil-S and my Sony A1. Affordable, I've been pleased with it so far, quick, accurate, and precise AF control-auto-focus very fast with the Sony A1. quality build. small size. Images tack sharp -the shallow depth of field is excellent. Nice Bokeh Footage of it in use in a short film I made with Rokinan on my Sony A1 with the Zhiyun Weebil-S https://youtu.be/8WYw5DKqbwM Master Sculptor Don Wiegand Life Casting of Vietnam Veteran Jim Causey. This is a short film of Master Sculptor Don Wiegand creating a Life Cast of Air Cavalry Scout Jim Causey's hands. Don has done life casts of people such as President George H. Bush and Barbara Bush, Chuck Berry, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, violinist Haruka Watanabe, and many other's. I very pleased with this purchase!

Great image quality, but the auto-focus can be touchy. Other than that, it's spectacular for the price.
