    Fantastic lens. I bought this lens to teach my 9 year old daughter some basics of photography, and the fixed focal length is a great way to start. I would recomend the lens to anyone.

    I've heard that a 50mm prime is a must for all photographers. Since I did not have an adapter yet, I thought it wise to pick up this as one of my first pieces of native glass for my new a6500. To be honest, I haven't used it much. The bokeh is decent, and the speed is pretty good too.
