Outstanding Lens For Sony Alpha Series Cameras
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens was purchased for my Sony Alpha Series 6400 camera body as it's "Primary" lens. It is easy to put on, and take off, the camera body via the Bayonet mount system. It is not a screw on lens it snaps into place. The picture quality is amazing using this lens. I received a Sony combination telephoto lens with the camera purchase. I bought this for everyday simple picture taking. This is my prefered lens. It can take various screw on filters . I keep my UV filter and circular polarization filter on the 50mm at all times. It also comes with both a lenas cover & cover to keep the back of the lens clean and the parts from being damaged. I recommend this lens.
I would recommend this to a friendIt'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!

||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.

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.
