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.

    It isn't the sharpest lens I've ever used, but for the price it is a nice, quick lens to get away from the kit lens.

    Love this lens for the 1.8. It’s sharp and great for the price, however the autofocus is a bit loud, so for video purposes, you may have to use manual focus.
