    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.
