    Im using this on the a6000 and a6300. The lens focuses loud and very slow. I guess thats why a lot of people returned them. but, Sony recently released a firmware update which improved the focus speed of the lens. At full retail I would suggest getting the OSS version. but this is very good option at half the OSS price in Open Box.

    This is a good lens, but you must know what you are getting into. The focus WILL be slow and MIGHT fail entirely, at least on my NEX-5R. Still, picture quality is great and the bokeh is beautiful. Definitely buy the APS-C OSS version for APS-C cameras or I guess one of the Zeiss ones for the full-frame ones. For my budget, though, this is fine.

    One of the best lens values in the Sony lineup. You get great image quality on a fast lens for a great price... obviously they have to make some cuts from the top tier lenses to get this price point but they really hit a sweet spot in how they did it.

    If you just want a 50mm focal length for photos without needing fast and silent AF, this lens is good enough and decently sharp enough. If you need anything more than that, you'd have to just lower your expectations.
