Q: What filter size does this lens use?
A: This lens accommodates 49mm filters.
Q: Does this lens have image stabilization?
A: No, this lens does not have in-built image stabilization.
Q: Is this Sony lens compatible with all Sony cameras?
A: This lens is compatible with most Sony E-mount cameras.
Q: Can I use this lens for close-up shots?
A: Yes, the FE 50mm F2.5 G lens has a minimum focus distance of 14.78” (0.35m) when using autofocus and 12.2” (0.31m) when manually focusing, making it suitable for close-up shots.
Q: What is the maximum aperture of this Sony lens?
A: The maximum aperture of this lens is f/2.5.
Q: Is this the best lens for the a7iv?
A: That's difficult to answer. I like this lens on my A7IV, but a Tamron 28-200 zoom lens is still my go-to. I would be too limited with only a 50mm focal length. The "best" lens for your needs will depend on what you like to take photos of.
Q: Will this lens fit on the Sony a6600?
A: It should fit on an a6600 but it will be more like a small fixed telephoto on the a6XXX series of cameras with smaller sensor size. I think it would be equivalent to a 75mm lens given the crop factor but someone else can correct me here if I am wrong about that.

Works Great on my Sony a7rii, Great Resolution!
Just got the lens today so took a few images around the house. Had to downsize them for best buy. But the resolution on my 42mp camera seemed great. Fairly quick to focus. Video was fine. I've tried different lenses around the same mm. Have tried the Sony 50mm 1.8, 55 1.8, Canon 50mm 1.8 and 50mm 1.4 (adapted to Sony). There is no question that the 55mm is just slightly sharper (but not by much), and faster, but I use my 85mm 1.8 mostly for portraits. I find the 50mm 2.5 is quick, small and wonderful for a carry around lens. I will throw that in my bag along with the tamron 20mm and sony 85mm and be all set in a small package.

Great lightweight walk around lens
The 50mm is a great general purpose lens. Along woth the small size it is perfect for my EDC setup. Compared to some of my GM lenses it is a little slower to focus from closes point to infinity but by no means DSLR slow. I do wish the lense went to an F2 aperture but 2.5 is very good. Highly recommend.

Pricey
The lens is a little bit pricey just like every Sony item I guess; however, it is excellent but I have to admit that for some reason I have a hard time figuring out how to use it every time I tried to shot with it. It is a great addition to my lenses, small, and light.
