    Its a nice lense and great for its price. I wouldn't recommend it if you are looking for a large varity of shots. It doesn't zoom, and you can't change the focus. But it has really good quality. A good lense for stills, and close-ups

    Really amazing extra lens to throw in the bag, the bokeh out preforms several thousand dollar lenses due to single zoom. Great starter lens or a nice second lens

    Wow, this lens was worth every penny. I was a little iffy about a prime lens, since you can not zoom in or out -- but the results from using this lens are amazing! This lens will allow you to take awesome portraits with blur backgrounds! I have replace my stock lenses with this lens. One thing to keep in mind is how far you will need to be from your subject when using the 50mm lens, it's quite far...you may want to go with the 35mm if you don't have room to stand back 10+ feet when trying to take a group photo.

    Great lense. For the price it's hard to pass this up it's super sharp and great quality but the autofocus on it is slow so just give it time when using autofocus

    Maybe it was the one I got, but the lens was noisy and always trying to focus, even when not holding down the button. Pictures from the lens looked great.

    Image quality is good on the A7 Mark2. Even with the latest firmware updates in the lens and camera, autofocus is still slow, but considering the price, I think it is a very good lens.
