Damn. Just bought a used 55 1.8. Wonder if this would be near as good for about half the price.

Do you use it over your 55? That's what I'm wondering on.

yeah i do cause it's lighter and portable. Since the focal range is close I ended up using the 45mm more and also have 85mm.. so I don't use the 55mm that much...

Worth it to get if I already have the Sony E 35 1.8? Hmm (a6400)

edit: the product photo shows FE on the lens. wrong photo or should this thread title be fixed?

Does this work well on Sony APS-C cameras like the a6*** series?

Not really for 10mm. I would do the 75mm

This is an excellent lens, especially for the price, but the 55mm is a real gem. I wouldn't have any buyer's remorse about one.

I purchased this lens and have issues with the AF on my a7iii and their customer service is almost completely non-existent, just a heads up. When it does work, the image quality is really nice and it is very small and portable otherwise.

I have a sony a7riv with the 16-35mm and 100-400mm GM and bought the 45mm rokinon through a previous deal. It's my light weight/compact addition and I'm super stoked about the price/weight/quality of this lens, fast AF, not as quiet as on the sony lenses but not disturbing. I would definitely buy it again, even for aps-c but be aware of the crop factor 45mm*1.5= 68mm

Do you have the 55 on a full frame or crop?

I used to have it, but don't anymore. I've used it both on FF and crop and loved it. Only sold it to purchase other things that caught my eye.
