Customers are saying

Customers highly value the exceptional image quality and smooth bokeh of the 50mm f/1.8 Optical Lens, frequently praising its performance in low light and affordability. Many also appreciate its ease of use and ability to create stunning portraits with a shallow depth of field. While some users noted that the autofocus could be improved and that chromatic aberration is sometimes present, the overall positive feedback highlights its strengths as a versatile and high-performing lens.

    Bought this on a offer. Best for the bucks. Depth of field was mind blowing. Best lens for my Sony Alpha A6000. Highly recommended.

    This is a pretty ok lens in my opinion, has relly nice bokeh (or however you spell it lol) but. I needed a lens more for landscape which I would recommend this one for. But I love sonys products and this one is a good lens for beginners such as myself.

    This was a very good lens to have and worked well for portraits. It just did not work for the application I was hoping for.

    I was worried that I wouldn't receive the results I wanted because I wasn't able to find a Sony E-Mount lens with a f1.4 aperture that was reasonably priced. However, this lens seems to compensate for Sony's lack of inventory and I am throughly pleased with the images I've made.

    I use this lens for food photography and it takes beautiful pictures. For the cost paired with my Nex-6 it's a great combo.
