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.

    Bought the lens as an open box. Works great and is flawless. Sharp as a tack, and auto focus if fast. Especially for the price. My only complaint is that my open box lens did not come with a lens hood as promised. My friend also bought an open box of the same lens and his came with a lens hood. When I went into the Honolulu best buy, they said I was out of luck. Other than the missing lens hood, this lens is great for beginners looking to step up their game!
