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.

amazing photos from this lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The quality of pictures from this lens is simply amazing. You have to have space (as in distance) between you what you are taking a picture of but the quality is awesome. I switch between this lens and other one so it works out perfectly.

Fantastic
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As many other reviews, I also give the 5 stars. I am a beginner, but can tell the difference with this lens versus the stock lens that came with my a6000. The quality is superb, and I love bokeh effect when the aperture is on a low value .
I would recommend this to a friend Great lens especially beginners!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are my favorite lens! I’ve been taking photos for 1 and half now and I always go to my 50mm for portraits. Great lens for beginners if you are looking for something with depth.

The best lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an amazing lens all you got to do is point and shoot. the background blurs awesome. The only complain is I can't focus with my a6000 and also for videos i don't know how to set it up. Overall is a great lens

Square
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The kit lens that came with the alpha 5100, a zoom lens, took great pictures but distorted straight lines. This lens does a much better job. The only drawbacks are that it's fairly large in comparison, and you have to move around if you want a particular frame composition. You can always crop afterward I suppose. If you want square that's the price you pay.

Fantastic Portraiture Detail and Stabilization
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens is phenomenal for portraiture, and the OSS (stabilization) helps to remove quite a bit of hand shake in both photo and video scenarios. If I were shooting with two cameras, I would buy a second one.

Perfect for Lowlight and Portraits
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased along with the Sony A6000 and very happy. The 1.8 aperture allows for low light capabilities. Also great for portraits to give a shallow depth of field with great bokeh!

Nifty Fifty Lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been a fan of using the 50mm lens for several years now and I'm not disappointed in using this one. Crispness, sharpness is well presented. Perfect match for the Sony A7, fast focusing is a plus, the light weight of it as well.

Excellent portrait lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Sony 50 mm F1.8 is a perfect portrait lens. I use this on my Sony a 6000 camera and it works great. This is not the FE lens but the other one-more expensive. Nice and clear excellent pictures.

Nice standard lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens is a good quality 50mm lens with very good optics. Colors and contrast are very good. My only wish is that it was slightly more compact. The quality is better than the short zoom lens that comes as part of Sony a6000 kits, but the compactness of that lens is better. All in all, a good fix focal length lens in the Sony e mount line. It delivers on image quality.
