Customer Ratings & Reviews

Was my first lens I got with my A7RIII and I still love it! And take beautiful pictures for the price! Focus is a little hesitant on it I will mention is the only downfall but it still works great.

Great depth of field - boca on it looks amazing in photos while giving you the same feel for video. Fast auto focus and at the price, can’t get anything better at this length.

Instead of buying a kit. It was recommended to buy the body and prime lens instead. Stubbornly I went an bought the kit lens and Best Buy was right. I didn't need it, the prime lens will be my main lens

I purchased this lens less than 1 month ago at Bestbuy as a new brand lens, the box it came into was that of a refurbished box, the back cover for this lens was grey and the lens itself is black. Due to Covid 19 I had traveled almost 1 hour to the only Best Buy location that had it in stock, it was curb side pickup. The first time I used the lens it was blurry in the background which was good. The second time I used the lens it no longer blurs the background at all. I would like my money back and don’t want to have to pay restocking fee. I paid almost $400 in total for this lens.

This lens was all I wanted and then some. The 1.8 f-stop gave me some great images. I'm looking to expand my inventory as I expand my knowledge so this lens seemed like a great step!

The bokeh and clarity of this lens is awesome!! It is a 50mm so keep them in mind when purchasing. Great for targets at a distance. Get the 30mm if you want a greater FOV or closer targets.

The lens for the price sacrifices the speed of the 55mm bigger brother but it's still clear with okay enough bokah. Would recommend as a everyday carry/starter lens until you outgrow it.

I used this lens at a banquet where the lights were dimmed. The 1.8 aperture allowed me to take some photos without a flash. Also, I had more depth of field flexibility when I used the external flash.

This is my first prime, which takes clear and blurred background shots. Great indoors and out doors to get my hobby photos.

I paired this with my recently purchased Alpha II and this has COMPLETELY upped my portrait game. So excited to acquire more skills to make this lense even better

This lens is best for close photos but can zoom a decent range. What I do like about this lens is that I can use it remotely with an app on my camera and control the zoom. Some lenses' zoom cannot be controlled remotely.

I read reviews of this lens online and thought it was a great deal. Compared to other lenses at $400+, this was a great deal for $200. The only downside is that the motor used for focus is slow, but with the recent update it has gotten a bit better.

I was recommended to start with a 50mm lense to learn and this works. I would rather have gotten a nice 24-70mm lense off the start, but having a 1.8f stop is always fun!

The nifty fifty is a great lens. I never had a problem with a Sony lenses .

Very comparable quality with price. It is a good fixed focal lens that allows the entry of light into the darkness of the night with low lighting quite well

The associate recommeneded this lens for the full body pictures and I must say it takes the best pics if you want to take pictures of a certain subject because it's blurs out the background

I'm using it with my sony a7ii light weight and pairs perfect even tho it doesn't have image stabilization it's ok the a7ii has it already

Bought this to use on my a6000. Lens is slow to focus, especially in low light. It is also very noisy. I returned it. Image quality is decent.

Really nice construction, focus ring is very smooth, it's decently sharp and I haven't noticed any CA. Focuses really well for AF. Size is nice and easily portable.

I’m an amateur photographer and this was my first lens and it has helped me a lot while I’m learning, sharp images and beautiful bokeh
