    Very negative experience. After purchase for local pickup, the seller contacted me to tell me "someone else locally also planned to pick up the monitor today. im waiting on their confirmation" and might cancel. When I questioned this reason for cancellation, he called my attitude "crazy". He also said that "this happens all the time" and literally called me a "dummy". Order was canceled by seller after this message. Never seen this brazen behaviour on eBay before. Beware!

    this guy didn’t understand that sometimes items are sold on multiple platforms, and sometimes they are sold at the same time, therefore first come first serve. he’s a total dummy for acting like it was a crime against him, instead of simply understanding my initial polite and kind message to him about it. he’s a dummy.

    Fast, Sharp, and Compact

    Let's get this out of the way: the 55/1.8 is one of the fastest FE lenses that doesn't like so out of place on an A7/A9-series body. If you're like me, the idea of switching to a full-frame mirrorless system meant that you were looking into reducing the bulk and weight that came with shooting D-SLR cameras. But then you made the jump and found out that fast lenses where as big, if not bigger, than most of the D-SLR variants. What?! (Don't forget about those prices either!) The Zeiss 55/1.8 is just aesthetically perfect for the Sony FF mirrorless system. It's small, its metal construction feels premium, it's fast, and it's sharp. Just perfect. A 55mm focal length is a tad odd, but it works and I love the quality of Zeiss lenses. AF is quick, EyeAF is quick, and its performance in low ...

    The "Mini-Otus" is a must own for all Alpha system users

    Coming from using the Sigma 50 1.4 Art on a Canon 6D, I was hoping that the FE 55 1.8 would be a direct replacement on my A6000/A7R combo--and it was! Considering that my new Sony combo weighs half of my old Canon/Sigma combo, and that it delivers even better image quality, I am over the moon with the FE 55. PROS: --Very small! I can take this anywhere, on either camera, and not be bogged down. --Outstanding image quality! Unbelievably sharp, very good colors, Outstanding contrast, very good bokeh. --Fast focusing! Blazing fast on the A6000, faster than you would ever think on the A7R. --Relatively inexpensive for a large aperture Zeiss lens. CONS: Absolutely none! Buy one immediately if you own an A7 line body! I use mine on the A6000 and love it there as well.

    Cream of the crop

    This lens is everything you would hope from something in the price and size range. Beautiful results right from the brightest aperture. Just remember not to use Electronic First Curtain Shutter when your shutter speeds are faster than 1/500th of a second. It causes distortion in the image on lenses faster than f/2. This is a camera problem, not a lens problem. With that in mind you get it all. Amazing bokeh, great sharpness, and a very well built lens. It is suitable for an broad range of photography but probably not fast moving subjects (it has been fine for kids so far.)

    Fast and Sharp

    I am not a pro photographer but this lens focuses very fast on my a7 and is incredibly sharp and fast. I have used it for portraits and it has incredible creamy bokeh. Also it was great for astrophotography because of the f1.8 aperture. It's expensive but you get what you pay for! My favorite lens for sure.

    One of the best!

    I think the 55 mm for Sony E mount is one of the best lenses I have ever used. It makes my A7 a nice, lightweight camera to just carry around and grab images. If you can afford it, and you have an E mount camera then you have to get it!
