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.

awesome lens, it's now my walk around first choice
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.this lens is great.great shots, background blur, the amount of light this gathers is great. add the on lens stabilizer, and you have a winning combo. you won't find anything like this from Canon or Nikon at this price (they're either mostly plastic, or without stabilizer; the good lenses are $500 and up)

Much better quality than the Kit lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Much better quality than the Kit lens. If you own a kit lens and looking for nice low light picture. This is the cheapest Sony auto focus prime lens you can find. AF Quite slow in low light but price/performance is great.

For the price it's one of the best lenses for APSC
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The quality and features you get from this lens for the cost are unbeatable, the SEL18-105PZ being a close second. I think this has the best performance to price ratio for any lens I've owned DSLR or Mirrorless. the auto-focus is quick and silent, the lens is sharp from f4 and higher, it still performs well wide open, but is a bit soft. With all these features you still get OSS which lets you get usable shots with slow shutter speeds.

Favorite lens in collection.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is by far my favorite lens in my collection. I've been using it on my 6400, so it's more like a 75mm, but the glass is fire. Super sharp, took it out for night photos with the family (pumpkin patch, etc.) and the 1.8 helped like crazy. I know it's not the "magical 55" focal length, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

My favorite lense
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have the kit's lense (16-50) and the zoom (55-210) but this is my favorite. With all the lights in the room on I can make Hollywood quality video of my kids playing (at ISO 800 f/2). Very sharp and fast focus too. More expensive than Nikon or Canon 50mm f/1.8 but this seems to be a problem for all Sony E lenses. Not too much to take a star off.

Excellent for video

Fast AF
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens is sharp and has fast auto focus (AF). It is intended for close up shots but can be used in many ways. I use this as a portrait lens and occasionally on street photography. I do not recommend it if you do not have much space to back up (like a room or event hall) because it is a prime lens that is 50mm and pretty much it is zoomed in quite a bit. Ideal for portraits.
