My Go-To
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased an A7iii and got this one alongside it. It's a stunning lens, super quick autofocus, and a bang for your buck. Highly recommend this going in your kit, especially when making the switch to Sony.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat nifty fifty
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this as my first lens for my Sony A7III since I only bought the body at that time. I like the lens since it was the most affordable with F1.8 aperture. I'm just getting into photography and thought this would be great to practice with. My first nifty fifty. It does take a little longer to focus at times but it is great overall.

noisy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i enjoy this product it will come in handy later!!
I would recommend this to a friend Excellent lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As always I have found the accessories for Sony cameras to be first rate. One of my preferences is the stabilization is contained within the body giving the user more flexibility when choosing lenses. A word of caution, Sony uses (2) mounting styles, make sure you select the correct one.

Budget

Good value but has limitations
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens is good to your wallet and can work on full frame and APC sized cameras. OK in size and weight. But the limitation is focus speed. It compares slow to my 16-70/f4 zeiss lens. I did a firmware update to the lens and my A6000. The speed improved but still felt not fast sometimes.
I would recommend this to a friend This is a great addition to your Sony camera
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great addition to your Sony camera. It helps take pictures from distance. The only thing is it's not easy to switch them out or take off and put it on. I guess all attachments are that way. If you are practicing your photography, this is a good starter.
I would recommend this to a friendBottom of the barrel
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you can’t afford any better this lens will suffice for simple pictures, but I would not recommend if you can get something else, the external focusing is loud and is easily heard in video, I also find its auto focus kind of bad.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendSpend a little more!
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Produces quality images however for video it’s ok. Needs built in stability for more stars. Fringing is also bad.

I returned it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am new to using this type of camera and thought the lens would really bring objects closer and "zoom" in better than the standard lens that's built /comes with the camera but didn't find this to be the case. I returned the lens to them. (Sorry, I wanted it to work better)
