Nice lens, looks good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The lens is kinda noisy, but the after shot is so good. It makes you not mind it so much. The camera also looks smaller with it on. Which is a plus

Great nifty fifty
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as my first full frame lens for my Sony A7M2. I purchased at a discount because it was an open box, but there wasn't anything wrong cosmetically or mechanically. I use mine for portrait work: fast at f1.8, light weight and sharp for a great price. Only gave it 4 stars because the autofocus can be slow at times/hunt but it's not terrible.
I would recommend this to a friendAmazing Lens, Amazing Price.

Great starter lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall great lens for price. A little bit on the hazy side but with editing the pictures look better. spending extra money on better lens would be better but this is a great starter lens.

Best cheapest lens out there
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a really amazing lens for someone who likes shooting in dark and wants close up portraits. It really performs with that f/1.8 . Just get it I would say. Best and cheapest lens out there.

Surprising image quality for the price.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First, i'd say. I'd take this over the kit lens any day. The image quality is actually good. Which is surprising considering the price. Ive taken professional pictures with this for a clients website, and after a few seconds in lightroom, i doubt many clients would see a difference between the images from this vs my g master. Having said that, auto focus is very slow. Not unusable. But. If your used to lighting fast autofocus with premier lenses, this will feel sluggish. Quality wise though, I'd use this for a professional photo shoot, without question. If your looking for a budget lens, this is honestly very good. Unless you rely on fast autofocus and the superb autofocus tracking sony offers. So... very good budget lens. But if you need top quality and fast autofocus, look elsewhere. But for the price, not a bad lens to have in your bag.

Awesome lens!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great lens but keep in mind that you do have to stand very far from the object you’re shooting. Gives a blurry / dreamy background and takes super great, high quality photos!
