TTartisans 10 mm f/2 on Sony a6000 – slight wiggle and not really sharp. Lemon? As the title suggests I bought a manual TTartisans 10 mm f/2 lens (e mount) for my a6000. I am quite new to the hobby.

Seems like a nice lens and I’d like to hear your recommendations for old budget wide angle lenses under 20mm for full…
