Perfect portrait lens for my a6100
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed a potrait lens and the 80mm designed for the aps-c is not cost effective . This lens is designed for the full sensor cameras but works wonders with the aps-c family. The conversion from full chip to aps-c is 1.5. So this 50mm is now a 75mm. Close enough to the 80mm

Inexpensive Nifty Fifty
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a beginner this is a great entry level lens. I use this to take shot of products. This is an inexpensive way to see what a difference switching lenses actually does. Also if later you decide to buy a more expensive 50mm, this will make you appreciate the new one and why you spending more money.

Good lens for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great for the price. Chromatic aberration can be very present - especially in low light - but can always fix in post. Auto-focus is not great, even at a high aperture. Would recommend using as a manual lens if there’s a lot of movement or low light. Auto focus can be good in the day time with minimal distractions

Good Lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, my experience with this lens has mainly been positive. I have taken good photographs with it (even at higher ISOs), and it is light and portable. My only issue with this lens would be its accuracy when it comes to auto focusing. It could just be me (I am accustomed to focusing manually.), but the lens does not always handle auto focusing well when using an aperture at or around f/2.8. It is a good prime lens, though. - Olivia F.
I would recommend this to a friendNot bad
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sharp images, lightweight. The only problem I found on thi lens is that is kinda noisy when using auto focus

good results
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A great lens for the price, I was looking for a cheap 50mm as an extra lens. I used it couple of times and I got a lot of compliments on the results.

Amazing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In my initial purchase of the Sony a6000, I was only going to use it's stock lens, but after experimenting with this portrait lens, it definitely gave me what i was looking for. The quality of shots along with the blurry background effect was exactly what my wife and I loved. This lens does that for you. Unfortunately it does not have zoom capabilities but reaches pretty good distance.

Great 50mm!!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I- I’m blown away by this. Sony sells a 50mm 1.2 but it’s 1000+, and while I’m sure the 1.2 is nice, 1.8 as a professional is perfect just because of the price difference. It’s build a little cheaper, but not bad it will not break easy or scratch or anything just some kind of plastic but I would 10/10 recommended
I would recommend this to a friendAmazing lens and price

Great lens for low light
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The f1.8 is awsome at blurring background and for shooting in low light. It’s inexpinsive and great for very low DOF shots. Fast auto focus.
I would recommend this to a friendBest lens for beginners!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great lens to start with photography. Great for portraits! This lens doesn't zoom in or out, but at the right focus and angle you'll get stunning photos!! Definitely a good deal for a cheap price!
