Fantastic prime
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was the first lens I bought to get into concert photography. I think it's great for beginners learning about lighting and composition. The f/1.8 is unbeatable. Highly recommend if you're starting out!

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great lens for the price. I used this lens for family pictures and was pleased with the outcome. The pictures were sharp and colorful, even in the rooms with low light. The only thing someone may not like with lens you will need to move back and forth depending how far your subject is. Not a zoom lens so if you do not mind then go for it.

It's a nifty-fifty. What more do you want?
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's only acceptably sharp and the auto focus motor is right out of 2005, but you know what? It's a good lens for what it's worth. It's almost always on sale and I promise you that it'll take beautiful photos. Pairs wonderfully with Sony's smaller full frame bodies. I would look at other options if you're on APS-C though, there's a lot of better offerings fore crop sensor!

Small and sharp
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product is incredible. I bought this product because I would want to have a small and lightweight lens to go around without needing much effort. I didn't expect that this product would be so sharp and compact at the same time. Definitely, it one of "you must have" product. Also, it is perfect for food and product photography. If you are starting, you will love this product. The only con is that you don't have the button to fix the focus and sometimes you have to wait until the camera can decide what focus is better, sometimes you have to change to manual focus, which is another problem because you don't have the switch button to turn it on and off, you have to go to your camera's menu to do it. But for the price and the quality of its photos, I am sure it is a big deal.

Excellent Affordable Lens
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this lens with my A6700 which has a 1.5 crop so this is about a 75mm lens on my camera. Portrait shoots is what I use this lens for. Excellent sharpness, fast focus and the bokeh behind the subject is nice and smooth.

Great Value for My A6000
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great lens for the price. I'm not a professional, but this takes solid portraits and helps with low light shots because of the large aperture. Only downside is it's a fixed focal length, meaning you can't zoom, so you have to physically move around to get the ideal shot. I use this on a Sony A6000.
