Compact, lightweight lens

A must-have prime
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If your going to spend at a minimum of $1300.00 for a Sony Alpha Camera then make sure you set aside some money for the lenses. This prime lense creates beautiful bokeh. With a low aperture and crystal clear and fast auto-focus. A must have for any camera bag!

Decent lens, slow focus
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm a Nikon guy, but i bought a Sony for traveling. I was just going to use the kit lens with my A7II for everything but i know there will be situations where i want to shoot in low light and the kit 28-70 wont work. Price: It's a little expensive. $250 is more expensive than the Nikon G, Nikon D or Canon EF 50mm equivalents Quality: The lens is sharp. On par with the others. Focus is somewhat slow compared to the other systems. Focus in LOW light is pretty terrible. I was shooting an engagement at the blue hour and towards the end I was shooting at 1250 ISO and it couldn't focus anymore. There really aren't any alternatives. Sony is still working on building their lens arsenal. 55mm Zeiss is one option but i would never pay nearly $1000 for a 50mm F1,8 Sony just announced at 50 f2.8 Macro that sounds interesting but thats still a F2.8 not F1.8.

HAPPY, but….
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very satisfied besides the dust found on the lens immediately after opening. Nothing my lens wipe couldn’t fix. First time doing an online order pickup and it was easier than expected. Thanks, Best Buy!

Good For the Money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have migrated to the full frame A7ii from an a6000 ad\nd loved the 50mm for that camera. So I anticipated the same great lens for the full frame... not so..... this lens hunts when in auto focus and is quite noisy...... The lens for the a6000 is a great deal! This lens is not in the same league as the 4/3rds lens ..... but for the price I will keep it.....

Highly recommended...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.by different websites and camera store staff. I'm still learning about interchangeable lenses, so I'm not the best resource to judge. Takes very sharp and clear pictures and easy and lightweight to have attached to the camera to hit the streets, but I prefer using lenses with more zoom.
