Wow, Sony.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens blew my mind. Ever since it was announced I've been wanting to snatch one, but they would not stay in stock long enough for me to purchase one. I finally was able to get one and take advantage of Best Buy's 24 month 0% financing. It is ridiculously sharp and fast, handles low light like a champ and the bokeh is out of thisworld. Have not taken it off my A7iii since I bought it!

- Pros mentioned:Focal length
Doesn’t come off my camera.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Stopped using a 50mm focal length but once I rented this lens I had to buy it. Spends more time on my camera now than a 35mm or 85mm. Outside portraits pair well with the Sony 135mm f1.8.

I would recommend this to a friend Excitement ruined :(
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens is sold out everywhere, so i had no choice but to buy it when i saw it in "Excellent" condition on BestBuy's website. Does it look excellent? Also, no packaging material inside box for 2k lens? I can't even return it because new one is sold out everywhere :( Tried contacting customer service via Chat, they were unable to help and told me to go to a store and talk to someone. Lens is working so far, but my point is.... its not in a condition that was described "Excellent"

Amazing lense. Worth it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lense is amazing. Love the images it takes. I like the 50mm focal length. This might be my new bread and butter lens for portraits so worth it. Just get it. If you can only have one prime. Just save up and get this. Very versatile.

Best portrait lens
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Obsessed is an understatement. This lens is top notch. The low f/stop helps create that beautiful bokeh and with it only being a 50mm I don’t feel like I am a million miles away from my clients.
