Review List
Body/Lens Quality: 8/10
I haven’t dropped the lens at any time (a great achievement for me!) but I would think this little lens could withstand quite a few impacts and not flinch.
Usability: 8/10
Any pancake lens is going to score high for me, because it makes the camera easier to carry. This one gets a little more, as it’s an f 2.8. The fact that it’s so wide-angle means you have to be pretty close to the action, though.
Features: 4/10
Well, any lens that’s this small isn’t going to have a lot of features. There’s no image stabilization, for example. IF you count the fact that optional attachments will make the lens even wider, then you could add to this score, but I’m only rating what I purchased.
Image Quality: 6/10
This might be partly due to the fact that I have the first generation NEX-5, which hasn’t been the best at rendering colors. But the IQ is still above average if for one reason only: because the slight pin cushion distortion actually makes people look skinnier instead of fatter. People love taking pictures with it because it makes them look better. 
Price: 5/10
5/10 simply means it’s priced right around where it should be. It’s s starter lens that has its faults, and therefore shouldn’t be too expensive, and therefore it isn’t.
