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.

    I've been doing photography on the side for over 3 years now, and I must say that every camera user should have a versatile prime lens; this one is it. It takes beautiful, sharp photos. It also gives you great bokeh for those awesome shallow depth of field shots. I can recommend this lens to any Sony E-mount user!
