    For the price the lens is pretty good . But the only thing I hate is the auto focus . It acts really slow sometimes . But once you get focus ittskes really good pics

    This lens takes a bit of practice to get just right, but when you do.. Oh man, it's a game changer. Really good for mid to long shots of cars and car rollers. Highly suggest for car photography.

    Very good image quality but auto focus is a bit slow tends to hunt but nails focus every time which is the importance. No eye auto focus as well. But for its price I would definitely purchase again

    One of my favorite lenses. The nifty fifty, with such low aperture and such an awesome focal length you genuinely can’t go wrong with this lens. 10/10.

    I love this lens it takes very crisp images and I can barely tell the difference between this and the zeiss 55 1.8 images for almost $1000 cheaper it's worth it!

    Really good lens, it’s a little loud so I would recommend upgrading to the Zeiss 55mm if you’re a videographer or just have the extra cash; but this is a solid lens on a budget

    The 50mm should be in every photographer and videographer’s Arsenal. This is great lens for a great price. Sony lenses can carry an absorbent cost but not the case with the “nifty 50”

    We’ve used this a few times this month. Idk if the images are so good because of the camera or the lens or both. The lens is super super loud when it sit focuses. The lens is zoomed in and not very helpful for most every day situations.
