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.

    As promised, great bokeh at low f/stop. The lens is sharp and fast. A great street shooter in low light.

    I'm new to taking pics with a real camera, I liked taking pictures with the kit lens on the A7ii but a friend suggested I try a prime lens and it changed the game for me. The 50mm aka Nifty Fifty is the place to start for sure. I'm excited to get the 85 next.
