    The 50mm is an excellent portrait lens that you can use wide open to blur the background and stop down to f4 for max. sharpness.

    I picked up this lens as an experiment. I seen the price so low and I decided to just purchase it for my Sony a6000. This is the first prime lens I purchased for this camera and I was shocked to see how great it performs. I purchased it open box and it's amazing.

    This is a great b-roll lens. Not meant to be a selfie style lens as the field of view is tight. For that you want a 16mm lens. The colors are vibrant and the clarity is excellent.
