Awesome Prime Lens
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing deal for a FE lens. This is the perfect travel sized lens for my set up. I usually run two massive lenses that can get heavy and costly if broken. This nifty fifty lens is the perfect prime lens to get any shot I need when I do not have my usual art lenses available.

||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The low f stop is crucial for those spectacular portraits and luckily this is at a great price point to get you feeling like a professional with your skills.

Great lens! Make sure to upgrade firmware
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.AMAZING LENS! (I have Sony a7iii) This will give you that cinematic focal length with amazing blurry background ! Paired this up with a polarizer filter and it’s amazing. Bought the lens July of 2021 and came updated to version 3.0. I’d recommend updating if it’s not at least 3

Great lens for the price
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great lens for an immediate photographer. I disagree with the reviews on this lens. The only downfall is a little noise on auto focus, but it helps to take great pictures. A great price too. Worth every penny!

Great budget prime
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great prime lens! I read and watched reviews of this lens and was a little weary of it. I was pleasantly surprised by it. One thing I will say that is a bummer is that the autofocus isnt as great as some of my other lenses. Wish it was a little faster but for $200 i really cant complain.

Good but noisy
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The picture quality is very good, great focal length and aperture, light and small footprint. The only downside is the noisy AF ( autofocus) and plasticy feel. Overall great lens for the price.

FE 50mm lens review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love this lens. I plan on getting the Sigma or G master lens next. But this lens has a really good depth of field. Can work in low light. The auto focus is fast and somewhat quite when it’s focusing. I’ve created some amazing footage and taken dope pictures with this lens.
