Good starter lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lens takes great shots, not built for video if you plan on using in camera mic footage as there's so much gear noise from the autofocus. Otherwise excellent and a great bang for your buck.
I would recommend this to a friend Great little lens
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very nice lens to have. It is a little loud, so maybe not perfect for video, but I got some really awesome pictures with this the customer LOVED them.
I would recommend this to a friendSmall and light
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great light lens for still pictures. Took this lens when I did not want to carry other heavy large lenses. Got better quality snapshots that normally would have been taken with a phone camera. Slow for action shots and miss being able to zoom.

Posted .Hi KarenA,
Sony commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority.
Thank you for sharing your positive feedback about the lens. Yes, you're absolutely right! The Sony SEL50F18 lens is known for producing sharp images, and its lightweight design makes it highly portable and easy to handle. Its focal length of 50mm and wide maximum aperture of f/1.8 allow for beautiful background blur and a shallow depth of field, which can really make your subject stand out.
If you ever have any questions or need further assistance with your camera or any other photography-related inquiries, please don't hesitate to reach out.!

If it's what your looking for.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.for a 50mm it's good, Not sure what I was thinking when I bought this I don't use it much 50mm I find gives nice photos but just not in my wheel house.
I would recommend this to a friendGood for close-up shots, but thats it.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its a nice lense and great for its price. I wouldn't recommend it if you are looking for a large varity of shots. It doesn't zoom, and you can't change the focus. But it has really good quality. A good lense for stills, and close-ups
