Nice lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got it to do effective portraits and was sold on the nice handling of the out focus background or bokeh(?). In any case, great value and only tries one picture and love it.

Solid nifty fifty
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While not as cheap as Canon’s nifty fifty, it’s a solid grab if you have canon or Nikon glass and you want a native Sony lens

Great Starter Lens
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens is very crisp and is a reasonably fast, good starter kit lens with decent bokeh.
I would recommend this to a friend Sony's Nifty-Fifty
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very inexpensive for the images it delivers, plus that pretty large aperture. The focus is a bit slow, with a pretty loud motor for focusing. The focus motor noise makes it unsuitable for video, fine for stills though.
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Autofocus
Awesome lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.lightweight and very nice. ts barrel is sturdy polycarbonate and its lens mount is metal —it doesn't feel like a cheap lens.

I would recommend this to a friend Loud auto focus
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I ended up returning this lens because the auto focus was way too loud for video and got a 18-105 zoom lens from sony for a little bit more money you get way better quality

Great Lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect for portraits with a blurry background. You have to be very far away from subject because the lens is very zoomed in.
