Realize it's an APS-C lens for Sony E. There aren't very many a6xxx shooter on NSN

It's a neat little lens though - full frame equivalent of a 24mm f/2

I don't really get this f/2. Is that because of the bokeh? If i use an incident meter (which i still use sometimes), it would tell me an exposure independent of sensor size. Can you elaborate a tiny bit?

From a DOF point of view it is equivalent to a 24mm f/2 lens on full frame.
