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.

    This lens is awesome. Like many other reviews have stated, the time it takes to focus is longer than other lenses I have. Other than that, superb.

    Cheap 50mm sounds to good to be true! Well it is purchased this for a little throw around 50mm until I get the ZEISS 1.4... however, this lens is pretty sweet on the A7iii reviews said AF was terrible but that was the Aii. Autofocus is fast enough to get what you want in frame at 1.8 in time. Pictures are decently vibrant and sharp no complaints. Great lens for the price... you won’t be disappointed

    Used this on my a6300. I took a bunch of photos with it and although a great lens, its not wide enough for what I do. The few "portrait" photos I did came out great. Crisp detail, beautiful color, but not what I needed. If you are shooting portrait, this might be for you. Best thing is to bring camera to store, see if they will allow you to take a few photos.

    It's good for the portraits, it's enough sharp on f1.8 and it has a pretty good bokeh. The AF speed appears not as fast, so I'd rather not used it for the objects in motion. Using it with my Sony A7RII and (rarely) with Sony a6000

    Lens is a little slow to focus in low light. There was a firmware update to help with this. Takes great pictures. Good value.

    Switched over from Canon and this camera really delivers. The menu is a little crazy and you really have to play with the camera. The images are clear and bright. You will need to take some time for the learning curve. Sony does not make everything seemless, but like all new things it will take some getting used too. I am excited to have this camera and if your thinking of going pro with a mirrorless, this is the best camera to start with. I caught it on sale and I'm glad I made the purchase.
