Great lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice little "nifty fifty" lens for my A6300 body. It's sharp and has a nice and big f/1.8 aperture for creative shooting.

Very good portrait lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A very good portrait lens. Pictures are sharp Focus is slow but accurate. Bokeh is creamy and soft Well built. A little pricey compared to the Canon and Nikon alternatives

DISAPPOINTING
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cons- 1. Makes a lot of gear noise. 2. Does not focus smoothly. 3. Very expensive, and not worth it. It behaves more like the Canon's low end 50mm for $125; the nifty fifty, as it is called. Pros- 1. It is compatible with the Sony camera, and retains all its features like eye detection and auto focus, etc. Not really a plus point, since for that price it better be!!!

Not the best

Good FF lens but with problems
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This 50mm prime lens is a good buy for the price but does lack focus speeds. I tend to find that he hunts for focus but over is a good lens if you are patient with it.
