Superb lens all for my use case (mainly family, street and travel). Being a compact form factor is really beneficial to me and it produces beautifully rendered photographs. The 40mm focal length really hits a sweet spot for my photography, and the only thing that would improve it is if it was f/1.8 instead of f/2.5, however that's a trade off I'm prepared to take as the images at the widest aperture are still very sharp.

I bought this lens and the A7CR specifically for travel and Street photography. Ive probably made a mistake buying the 40mm lens and perhaps I should have bought something like a 24mm or perhaps 35mm...I found myself struggling with some of the architecture I wanted to shoot. Ive already got a 26-70GM but thought it a little too heavy and conspicuous to do what I wanted to do..

I brought this to use on my Sony A7CR as my day to day camera

I tried all three lens and found the 40mm to be the best

With 80mp you can still crop and have a great quality photo

light, compact and very sharp. works very well with both my bodies (A7R3 and A7CR), but especially with the A7CR for a light and discreet street shooting combo.

Am getting good results using this lens on my A7Cii. Plenty of features considering size, 40mm + f2.5 is a useful walk around and family lightweight option.

Great value for money and quality like the GM lenses

I wanted a small but good quality lens for my new Sony A7C II, as a travel and daily use lens. I have recently started to use prime lenses because of the sharp photos they produce and because they tend to be much more compact than zooms. This focal length is perfect in my opinion, not too wide and not too tight. A very good lens indeed.

I bought this for when I needed slightly wider than 50mm, for when I shoot portraits, as I already have the 50mm f1.8, and the 40mm is compact and really sharp.

I bought this with travel in mind an I am really pleased I did. The lens is really light, 40mm is a great focal length, and extremely sharp corner to corner.

Choose 35mm or 50mm but 40mm is difficult to justify

I really like my FE 40mm f2.5 G lens, it's my main walkabout lens. I prefer 40mm to both 35mm and 50mm. This Sony lens is lovely, it feels great in the hand, it is small, light weight and very is sharp. Its also really nice to have a proper aperture ring. Thoroughly recommended.

Excellent build quality. I love the focus hold button, aperture ring, smooth action and the (slightly wide angle) view. Great optics and f2.5 is a great compromise between cost and a wide aperture. Recommended.

40mm is the right spot for street photography.

It’s not too wide and not too narrow… just right.

This is a nice, solid and compact lens with a really nice lens hood that doesn’t shout ‘Lens hood!’… I like how small it all is.

I have had this lens for a year now and it's hardly ever off my camera (an A7IV). Build quality is superb, I love the 40mm focal length as it matches what I see and the image quality delivered is top notch. Tack-sharp corner to corner, smooth backgrounds.

One of the important reasons for migrating to Sony was availability of this lens. My favorite focal length is 40mm, and whilst it would have been even better if the largest aperture was F2.0, I am very happy with the lens as it is.

I would have liked even more if the lens was smaller in size, but I understand the reasons for being this size.

Quality wise, this lens is excellent. I particularly like its super fast AF with A7 IV.

I would highly recommend this lens to anyone looking for an all day carry on lens.

The lens seems to have imperceptible distortion, which is really good too.

I was in the market for a small prime lense as I have a z55 and sony 35F25 I neded something with moor flexibility and portability. The FE40 features moor than fit the bill, its amazingly fast at focus Ideal for street photography and assigning APS-C to focus hold button for that extra rech makes it perfect for my use.
