You should buy this.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very solid lens. You can't go wrong with a "nifty 50." This is probably one of the best lenses for the price out there.
I would recommend this to a friendNice Pair with the A7 III
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you've done your research, you'll probably know that this lens comes with it's fair share of issues, mainly the autofocus. I decided to purchase this along side my A7 III as I am new to the Sony world. I think it works pretty well most of the time. It occasionally hunts, but nothing that is deal breaking. The pictures are considerably sharp, but there is some vignetting wide open. The wide aperture is very nice though. Note that it can be just a smidge noisy at times. Also not a deal breaker to me.

Very good performance considering the price point
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The optical performance of this lens is very good for the price. I own many Sony A-mount lenses which I have adapted for use on my A7 E mount body. The sensor in the camera performs admirably but the size of the adapted lenses have always seemed large. The great news about this lens is that it's size is much more in proportion to the camera body. The sharpness and bokeh of this lens is impressive. The other choices for 50mm range native E mount lenses are the $1500 Planar, the $1000 Sonnar and $950 Loxia. The performance may not be that of the Zeiss-badged offerings, I bet that the differences would only be noticeable at near-open apertures under great magnification. The only small negative about this lens is that it doesn't auto focus with the lightning quick speed my A-mount SSM lenses do. The update to the latest lens firmware and focusing at a wider aperture helped the auto focus speed noticeably. The 50mm F1.8 will not be beat for the price.
I would recommend this to a friendGood lens

Solid value at a very good price.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like this little lens. The only negative is the lack on on-lens image stabilization. The f/1.8 is fast enough for most situations I'm in, and at higher f-stops image sharpness seems outstanding to me. I've only used it in winter, so I don't know how it will do in very colorful environments, but the generally monochromatic settings have been fine.

Great budget friendly portrait lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought it on sale for 150, and it's a great lens at that price. Perfect for portraits, candids, action shots of my dog. Using it on a crop sensor alpha 6100 so the zoom is ~75mm, only inconvenient if in close quarters. Not super quick to focus but hasn't lost me any moments so far.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat lens for the money
