Hey Steven,

The lens itself is amazing, but a lot of wide lenses (wider than 50mm) in M mount don’t work well on most digital cameras except the digital Leica M cameras. This is because lenses real elements get quite close to the sensor, so instead of the light falling on the sensor straight from the front the light falls on the sensor in quite steep angles. This makes for purple edging etc on the Sony Ax cameras.

This is just my theoretical knowledge I share with you, since I have never used a Sony camera yet, let alone with M mount lenses.

I hope this helps,
Jip
