Excellent quality lens. The size is just perfect and the build quality is amazing. I really like the fact that this lens has an aperture ring and it clicks nicely in place. There's a button that allows the aperture to ring to be "clickless" - great for video work.Sharpness is fantastic, even wide open. Close up distance is also very good and comes in handy. At close up distances, things are a little soft at max aperture but sharpens up perfectly at F4.The included lens hood is a nifty design - it's small and doesn't get in the way.Very pleased overall.

I bought second hand from Amazon warehouse, and expected some scratches on the body. It came without the original packaging, but the condition is like new. No sign of usage. Lens quality is great. Sharp, focuses fast, silent, great build quality.

Nice travel lens for my A7C ii. It has excellent sharpness and depth of field regardless of size actually. 40mm is a fun focal length putting it close to 35mm. My only gripe is the LoCA is very bad in some situations, to point it may be difficult to save the pic in light room. Most cases it works well though. Great to pair with the 24mm, perfect travel companion.

Great images quality and compact size. Images have a snap that even some larger, pricier options donāt have. The 40mm focal length is actually far more useful for travel than the classic 50mm ānormalā lens. With the high resolution Sonys, you can crop to your heartās content. if you want that slightly wider view. My A7CR wears this lens most of the time.
Not correct measurements.

I recently purchased the Sony FE 40mm F2.5 G lens and it has exceeded all my expectations. Its ultra-compact design, weighing just 173g, makes it incredibly convenient for both professional and recreational photography. The high-quality G Lens optical design with three aspherical elements ensures impeccable sharpness and corner-to-corner resolution, a true testament to Sony's craftsmanship.The F2.5 aperture is perfect for low-light conditions, providing excellent light gathering capabilities. The depth of field is shallow and artistic, with the 7-blade circular aperture contributing to a beautifully natural bokeh. This feature makes it an ideal lens for portrait photography.Image quality is astounding. The aspherical elements counter various aberrations, maintaining high-resolution performance even at wide apertures. The defocused light sources are perfectly round, adding an aesthetic quality to my shots.The autofocus, powered by two linear motors, is fast and precise, a crucial factor when tracking moving subjects. The Linear Response MF is particularly impressive, providing immediate and precise control, essential for both stills and video.Overall, the Sony FE 40mm F2.5 G lens is a stellar combination of portability, performance, and quality. It's a versatile lens that has become an indispensable part of my photography kit. Highly recommended for those who value quality and versatility in a compact form.

The lens as a compact, full-frame āPerfect Normalā lens that is sharp and well-made. Itās moderately priced and performs very well, with the ability to focus much closer than other 40mm lenses

Incredibly sharp, well built, fast focusing (+ the focus assist feature that works with this lens on A7 cameras) id definitely buy again.

This is an outstanding lens by Sony. What stands out is its build quality, size, and image sharpness. I also love having the aperture ring on the outside of such a tiny lens.The only unfortunate thing about this lens is that it's only an f2.5, but that's only because I prefer the fastest primes. But honestly, f2.5 is more than adequate for 95% of my work.I love this lens in particular for street photography. 40mm is slightly tighter than 35mm but I think it's enjoyable.

I really wanted this lens, mainly because I went with mirrorless for size, among other things. And this pairs so nicely with my a7c. Iāve owned a Samyang 35mm f2.8 for a few months now. Itās small and compact, but probably a tad too small and for some reason I canāt quite explain, I havenāt really loved the pictures. Maybe just not as much as I had hoped. So I decided to upgrade and naturally spend 3 times the money for something .23 times better. Letās be honest for just a sec. isnāt that what photography is usually all about? Oh well. I just took it out the box, slapped it on my a7c and it looks beautiful. Yes the hood is a bit awkward but thatās expected, they wanted it to be compact so Iām ok with it. The aperture ring is solid. Itās not gonna move around accidentally. I was quite worried about that. It feels a lot like my 20mm f1.8 but half the size. And itās not as small as I was imagining, but itās still great. Prob the perfect size. Iāve taken just a few pictures so far and itās stunning. I can def notice the difference from my samyang. Auto focus is superb. Man I love Sony mirrorless.I struggled for a month decided if I should move forward with this lens. I really wanted a 35mm (trying to sell my Samyang right now). But I do also own a 28mmf2 so I think between that lens and this one (40mm) Iām good.Im not a pro. Just a major hobby Iāve invested way too much money in. So take it with a grain a salt but I felt there should be a review on Amazon just in case you canāt find any of the 16 reviews online or 16 YouTube reviews on this lens.Overall itās tough to justify if you have a 35mm you love. Like a sigma f2 (ugh. I ended up picking this one over that one and I hope I donāt regret it) or the Sony 1.8 or 1.4. I guess if you really want something slightly more compact than those. Or if you just donāt own a 35mm maybe this one is a good alternative for you. (Again if you truly like the idea of a solid compact lens).For reference Iām able to fit it with my camera in my 5L peak design bag along with my 28mmF2 and my tamron 70-180. I always appreciate people providing that type of info so I hope someone else can appreciate this. Iād also easily be able to include my 55mm zeiss and 20mm f1.8 if I remove the tamron. Just FYI. Itās quite convenient to have a compact package. Not saying all my packages are compact. But not denying it either.
