sony 50mm 1.8g lens
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not so good lens. The focus issue is still there. Would not recommend for street photography. You get what you pay for. Switched to 40mm 2.5g lens

Great first lens for FE Mount system
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the first lens I got for my Sony FE mount camera and I couldn't be happier with it for the price. There are lenses that focus faster but not anywhere near this price.

High value lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens is primo on the a6500. Its lack of image stabilization is a non issue on the a6500 since the camera has it in body. It is buttery smooth and a high value portrait lens.

Nice Prime
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this for my A6300, might be the most inexpensive option for a 1.8f prime on the E-Mount. Gives me the depth of field that I've been missing without going to my Full Frame DSLR.

Great for the value
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens creates the nice blur in the background for portraits which is what my wife needed. They're better lenses out there but for the price of this one you can beat it.

Open box
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ordered a open box and it was literally not even the right lens. It was labeled as excellent, no damage. This lens had a bend in it, scathing all over it and was clearly someone’s old lens. I have used the real lens before and it works very well for the price however the GMaster is just miles above this one. However with price you can’t really beat this lens.

Excellent "Nifty Fifty"
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really enjoy shooting portraits with this lens. It's definitely a little overpriced compared to Canon or Nikon's "Nifty Fifty" lenses, but I'm still happy with the purchase.

Nice Bokeh
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My go to lens when I dont have much space to take portrait shots. It gives a nice soft bokeh which makes portrait shots really nice. Expensive but its worth it.

Need a back up lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Most of my lenses are EF mount, so I decided to get a native lens in case the ef fails on me. This one is light, fast and accurate.

Great beginner lense
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an amazing lense. I'm new in photography but I have to say you cannot go wrong with this one.
