Nifty Fifty - the best all round lens 4 beginners
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have only two lenses one for Portraits and one for Sports photography. sony's 50 mm is best suited for indoor and outdoor Portraits. It is very much affordable and a must for portraits and landscapes too. f1.8 is fast enough in low light conditions but sometimes searches for focus. Can be used for videography too.

Did it's job
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently acquired the Sony a7rii and was in search of glass. Others have suggested this lenses and eventhough I was looking for a wide, I figured I needed a portrait anyhow. In short, you can't beat the price for a f1.8. It's clean enough where you'd have to nitpick, but it does have its down side. It's rather slow to focus and quite loud while doing so. If you're in a jam and need a lens that won't break the bank, I'd say it's a good buy.

Great inexpensive lens. Worth every penny.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The reviews on this lens from "professionals" are that it is a bit too noisy of a lens. They haven't heard my older low end lenses. While it is noisier than my high end lenses, it's not THAT bad. It takes beautiful pictures on a low budget. Is it as good as the same high end lens across all apertures? No. Is it still pretty good? Yes. Am I glad I bought it? Yes.
