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.

    Nice value lens. Price is very attractive and the lens takes fairly sharp Pictures. Main fault is it is slow to focus.

    I think this was a very economical purchase. It’s the standard lens purchased separately. It focuses good, you just have to be still.

    For $199 it's amazing. Could be a little crisper, and low light focus struggles sometimes but still very good. No steady shot
