Customer Ratings & Reviews

This lens produces better, clearer pictures than the stock lens. You have to be careful about your focus The depth of field is not as great as the stock lens unless you you stop it down and slow the exposure time. You must know a little about photography to get good results but the pictures a crisp and clear.

Wonderful lens no issues takes great pictures.....

I upgraded from my Sony kit lens to this 50 mm prime. This has now turned j to my go-to lens! Focusing is quiet and fast. It also takes excellent photos on my Sony A7ii. For the price, I would highly recommend.

This lens is small, works well. Only downfall is a slow autofocus.

This was my first FE lens purchase and it is worth it. The price alone is what caught my eye. The body is mostly plastic but still quite durable. Overall the construction is top notch. Focusing is not as fast as the Zeiss line but if you give the ring a little twist the right way, it helps and focuses in a flash

Needed a fast 50mm lens and this does exactly what I need. It has a low price point but the photo quality is very good. Sharp images are not a problem with this lens on any of Sony's cameras. I use it on my a6000 and get great results. The focus motor does make a bit of noise but for photos that is not an issue.

The lens is good for pictures but for video the lens does make noise

Great full frame lense for portraits. Does not have OSS

Bottom Line: This is a solid lens $200. AF focusing is loud and not very good. I gave it 4 stars because it's an exceptional value. If you manual focus - this is a respectable A7-series lens. (Full disclosure: I returned this lens and got the Zeiss 55mm....again, you get what you pay for. It's incredible)

This lens was my first purchase after getting the a6000 kit with the two provided lenses. For the the price you pay, the images turned out to be pretty sharp.

This is a really great lens choice if you're on a budget. The image is a little soft around the edges, but that's hardly something to complain about with the price you're paying. I use this lens on my Sony a7R II for both portraits and video.

I've just started on taking portrait photos in social events or functions with my family or friends. This is great at achieving that Bokeh effect! all my pictures are crisp, vibrant and subjects really stand out!

Gives me the great bokeh effect on my shots. Great for portraits!

Bought for my daughter for Christmas, I'm sure she will love it.

This is a great little lens for my A7III. It’s perfect for portraits and good to have for low light conditions too. Very sharp and I find the rendering inoffensive. It’s a lens I always carry now.

It’s good for the price. The auto focus is a little slow

This lens works really great for flying on the Ronin-S

A Great prime lens for you're doing portrait photography.

This prime lens is great for portraits, candids, action shots. I’ve used it for concert photography and looks fantastic. I’m using it on A7RII. I’m a beginner with photography so I went this lens for cost and to learn.

This is the quintessential nifty fifty lens by Sony. Super light and decent build quality with a buttery F1.8 aperture. Worth the $$$ and a must have lens. I keep this one on at all times for my run and gun shooting.
