Love it and price is doable!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Provides sharp images and easy to use. I only wish it had a zoom option so that I am not the zoom option but not a deal breaker. Love the f-stop. Good for portrait photos.

Great first prime.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First prime lens for my Sony e-mount. A bit of a telephoto with my sensor size, so not great for tight spaces, but makes a great portrait lens. Nice smooth bokeh for $.

Very nice camera lens for the Sony A6000
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice camera lens for the Sony A6000. I compared with the A7II but that was going to cost me around $3,500 with the kit lens and then adding the 35mm 1.4 lens I wanted. I was able to get this camera on sale with the addition 50mm lens for under a grand. This lens is great and takes very nice and vibrant colored pictures.

Happy Customer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a beginner in photography, I had the opportunity to use a friend's high-end lenses, which cost about four times as much as this one. Despite that, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the quality of this lens and would recommend it to others starting out

Amazing must have Lens for NEX
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sony 50mm f1/8 is the perfect portrait lens at a truly amazing price. Personally, I have tried similar lens from sigma, however I found the sony to be much sharper due to OSS (optical steady shot). Overall, this is a great lens for beginners and I find myself always taking it with me.

Sweet lens!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lens is quite amazing! Really crisp and clean images on A6000, really takes advantage of the 24 MP and large sensor. Bokeh is very nice. OSS keeps things from blurring out in lower light. Buy it, you won't regret it if you like 50mm primes. Good build quality and pretty light.

Great lens for portraits
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I decided to skip the kit lens and just buy the 50 mm. So this is the only lens I have for my A6000. I love it so far, it takes great quality photos, they all look sharp, where the subject really pops. It does have a slow auto focus, but it's not a big deal for me. I still have to get used to the fact that this is not a zoom lens! So fyi, you have to move around to try to get the best shot, but I definitely recommend it.
