Works great! Purchased this for usage with my Sony A7R and A7S. It is a very sharp lens, but the depth of field is hilariously shallow at f/2.8. Still, it takes great pictures. Here are two recent samples captured with it on the A7R, stopped down to around 5.6-7. The focus and aperture work great, just be prepared for a fully manual lens. 10/10 would buy again
Four Stars Excellent lens
