I don't think you will find another lens at this price range that gives you the IQ, and the lightweight and compact size that makes balancing on a gimbal a breeze, quiet and fast AF.
It's great for video as well, AF is quiet and accurate, but can't use follow focus in MF mode due to the rotation ratio, depends on the type of camera operator you are, this can be significant or nothing at all. I don't have an issue with AF noise being picked up by the in-camera mic.
Highly recommend this lens even if you don't need one.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Sharp wide open, small enough to put in the pocket
