Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the image quality, price, ease of use, low light performance, weight, and size of the FE 50mm f/1.8 Standard Prime Lens. Many appreciate its affordability and how lightweight and compact it is. However, some customers note that the autofocus could be improved, and some have mentioned that it produces some noticeable noise. The lens is generally well-regarded for its performance and value.

    50mm is a good lens for capturing that Bocca affect. The subject is super detailed while blur makes you concentrate on subject. Too close though will make auto focus little trippy.

    Purchased for portrait photos and the lens itself is excellent. Did not work for our application due to inability to zoom but that takes nothing away from the quality of the lens.

    Purchased this lens because it is the cheapest lens in the Sony Full frame ecosystem. Kindve pricey for a nifty fifty and very slow AF speed but produces a decent image for its price. Will later replace with the zeiss 55mm F/1.8 or sigma art 50mm

    It’s the perfect travel and walk-around lens, ideal when larger glass seems intrusive or feels too bulky, and gives excellent performance, especially when its price tag is taken into account.

    Nothing like a fixed lense to test your skills. Love the size. Especially when shooting street photography. Light weight. Sharper images than the standard your Sony a 7 may bring. Highly recommend

    I purchased this lens to use for video interviews. I love it. It took me a little while to get used to a fixed lens but after this purchase, I am looking at another focal length fixed zoom lens.

    Good for the price. Theres better out there but this will work for someone on a budget. Also works as an everyday lens if you dont want to drop a ton of money on an expensive lens that may get damaged. Focus breathing is less than ideal for video.
