Good Value
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s not a Gmaster but it is a nice little lens for the money. The images are sharp and it works pretty great on my a7iii

Great for beginners and those on a budget!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I initially "settled" for this lens because I was leaving for a trip and didn't quite have the funds for a Zeiss 55mm/f2.8. It turns out, I didn't settle so much after all. I love how easy this lens is to use as I am no professional. It is small and compact and fits well considering I have the small Sony a5100. I recommend this lens for those who don't want to spend to much due to lack of experience; but, it is a great investment.

Great first prime lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice lens shows good detail for landscape pictures. I prefer to use on manual focus as sometimes the auto focus is slow.
I would recommend this to a friend Light weight and performs better for its price.

I would recommend this to a friendNot the best 50mm prime but good for the price.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good price for a Sony prime. A little louder than I would like when focusing and not the fastest kens around. Image quality is excellent.
I would recommend this to a friendGood prime lens
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good entry level 50mm lens. It’s a prime lens and a bit slow, but you can’t beat the price for the f/1.8 and a nice bokeh.

Great budget lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First off this is a 200 dollar lens. It is not one of the Sony zeiss lenses so I don't expect much from it. Image sharpness to me is good but not great. Lens is however very light weight and fits nicely on camera. The auto focus is noisy and a bit slow on the a72. My A6000 does a much better job with auto focus. Low light the lens has a hard time finding focus. In full manual mode it's great. It's a 200 dollar lens. No complaints.
