    Definitely a must have. Paired it with my Sony A7iii and it takes very crisp images. I do a lot of various types of photography from portraits to automotive. Very versatile. It’s going to be mostly preference between the 50 and an 85mm and based on your needs. I say well worth it.

    The lens is absolutely amazing. It takes solid pictures and focuses very well. I have an older camera that it doesn't zoom out well with because of the older features of the camera but I just have to adjust the equipment further back and it's everything I ask for in a picture.

    Needed a fast 50mm for an upcoming shoot. Once i put this lens on my camera, I’ve rarely taken it off. It offers sharp enough photos for the price. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a solid value 50mm lens.

    If you've not heard of the "nifty-fifty," now you have. This lens should be in every photographer's kit. Lightweight and versatile, it does well in most all lighting situations, outdoor events and indoor closeups. Quiet and a value at its price point. Definitely recommend.

    For the price, it is an outstanding value. I got it for 200 bucks on Black Friday, and it is by far the best impulse purchase I've ever bought. The autofocus is loud, and not the best I've seen. But the quality is top notch. The photos that this thing takes are outstanding.

    Auto focus is loud, sometimes slow and it hunts quite a bit in low light. However, the picture quality is pretty good and for the price you can't really complain.

    The item is really nice, i purchased it for my hobbies for more to learn in photography industry. I recommend this product really good use in the night photography, which help to have more details in terms of high mega pixels especially in the night, it does work great in day too, but I bought it because for night shoot.
