This is one lens that I definately have a love-hate relationship with. I'm not 100% sure that I like it or not and I've come to the conclusion that it's not a lens that I will use on the Nex-7. As a matter of fact I find it difficult these days to find a native lens that I like using on the Nex-7.
However, looking at the above image, I have to say it's not bad at all. Taken on the Nex-5N (which is a great camera by the way) it seems to perform better. I had no incident like I did on the Nex-7 where there was a camera-lens communication problem and the lens performed admirably. One thing I find a little irritating is the in-camera software distortion correction. When I've taken an image and it comes up in the viewfinder, I can see the distortion correction taking place, which means that a little of the image is always cropped out. It's only a minor niggle but it's there all the same.
I like the micro contrast here and the colours are good. I can't complain really and it seems that the lens will stay on the Nex-5N for now.
