Great lens for all around shooting!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The focal length of this camera is great. 50mm is excellent for street photography, and wide enough for some landscape. Perfect lens to get close to subjects too. Very impressed.

- Pros mentioned:Image qualityCons mentioned:Autofocus
Good image quality, not so great auto focus
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was between this lens and the Sony FE 85 1.8. I bought this lens, the image quality is very good especially if you stop at down to F2.8. The problem is the lens seems to hunt with auto focus at least on my A7ii. The lens is also fairly noisy while autofocusing. I ended up returning this after two weeks and getting the 85mm 1.8 which I have been very happy with.

Not bad, a bit noisy AF
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price you can't expect perfection. Image quality and build quality are good to great. A lens good is included and that is nice. Only complaint is noisy auto focus.

Above and beyond
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this lens mainly for portrait shots but i use it for regular shots too. It’s wide aperture gives you the best crispness in the pictures.
I would recommend this to a friendGood lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good portrait lens. Will test it out more. Colors turns out great and the bokeh effect is really good cause of the low aperture. Not bad with the price either
I would recommend this to a friendSony FE 50mm f/1.8
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its a good little lens for the price it was. I will be changing it out soon though because it is fairly slow in terms of focusing. It also is a bit noisy, which is distracting to me. Its worth it for beginners or those who aren't ready to pull the trigger on the pricier 50mm f/1.4

I would recommend this to a friendGreat pictures bad stabilization of course
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really needed stabilization on this one.
