A lot of other photography forums have separate threads dedicated to images from specific lenses. Wanted to do the same for a range of lenses, and thought I'd create specific ones for the lenses I have.

Please feel free to post up your pics to serve as samples of what the FE 55mm f1.8 ZA can produce! :)
 
A great lens, other than for it's CA I have only praise to give. Together with the Sony 85mm f1.8 they have been my go to lenses for the first 2 years with my A7iii 24mpx body... ...until I got my first GM lens (135mm)... no going back to non-GM glass once you tried it.

Another sample I found worth of sharing. If not on backlit situations (where it's weak point, CA, surfaces) this is a great lens
To upgrade from it I suggest you skip the venerable Zeiss 50mm f1.4 and go directly to the 50mm f1.2 GM

The Sony/Zeiss 55mm was my first lens purchase and bought it with the camera on faith! So many good reviews. It's a definite keeper.
 
Had this lense on the A7 for the best part of 12 months when I first got it.

Still have it today!
