    I'm a Nikon guy, but i bought a Sony for traveling. I was just going to use the kit lens with my A7II for everything but i know there will be situations where i want to shoot in low light and the kit 28-70 wont work. Price: It's a little expensive. $250 is more expensive than the Nikon G, Nikon D or Canon EF 50mm equivalents Quality: The lens is sharp. On par with the others. Focus is somewhat slow compared to the other systems. Focus in LOW light is pretty terrible. I was shooting an engagement at the blue hour and towards the end I was shooting at 1250 ISO and it couldn't focus anymore. There really aren't any alternatives. Sony is still working on building their lens arsenal. 55mm Zeiss is one option but i would never pay nearly $1000 for a 50mm F1,8 Sony just announced at 50 f2.8 Macro that sounds interesting but thats still a F2.8 not F1.8.
