Anybody has sony f 1.8 55mm zeiss lens?
How's the focus speed in comparison to 50mm f 1.8 OSS? Just bought a6500 and i noticed that, the focusing speed of 50mm f 1.8 is quite slow, its like it has to think first about 1-2 sec. I don't think its good for taking video especially moving object. Should i change to 55mm f1.8? Thanks in advance  |
