Mine is a Sony mount, and DN rather than EX DN - I don't think there is much difference. I bought the lens as a walkaround for the A6000. Here are a few shots walking around the old Benedictine monastery town of New Norcia in Western Australia, first day out with the combination. It's a fantastic lens, but neither camera nor lens has image stabilisation, so a bit tough to get sharp shots indoors unless I head for the thousands on ISO (which the A6000 can do well).

Hey Gary - I'm liking the lens a lot. I use it for point-and-shoot opportunities. High ISO with my E-PM1 is not good at all, but for family shots, not too shabby.

Good shots.When I start seeing these kinds of shots, I realize that the good weather season is over!

Thanks Ivan. Too cold for outside shots, but no snow for nice weather shots... bad combo.

Once you learn to deal with the flare, you may come to love the Carl Zeiss Jena 645 80mm Biometar f 2.8.

I'm looking forward to a snow day soon now, especially since we've been working from home.

Thanks - I love the lens. Much more than the SUper-Tak 200/4 (I am partial to preset lenses though).

I do believe I got a nice copy, better than average, based on results and the ease in getting the nice results. Would love to do some bird shots/squirrels to really see it shine.
