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.

    Focus is a little slow and difficult, but the difference from the stock lens is impeccable.

    Wanted a fifty to break in my new a7 iii with, not quite ready to layout $1,900 for the 1/4… so far so good. Crisp images, decent bokeh. Good street lense, good value for the price.
