    Nice value lens. Price is very attractive and the lens takes fairly sharp Pictures. Main fault is it is slow to focus.

    Purchased this lens and was not disappointed at all. If you are running a crop or full frame this works great.

    This is a little slower at focusing compared to my crop 50mm on my a6000. But it's manageable for the price!

    This is a decent lens for the price. Not as good or as well priced as Nikon or Canon's nifty fifty lenses.

    I think this was a very economical purchase. It’s the standard lens purchased separately. It focuses good, you just have to be still.

    For $199 it's amazing. Could be a little crisper, and low light focus struggles sometimes but still very good. No steady shot
