    You cannot go wrong with having a 50 in your camera bag. I think if you don't have this than you must like the 35mm. I love a good 50mm and usually shooting below 1.8 I rarely do. I would recommend having.

    Excellent lens. I use all the time 85mm (it's awesome too) but sometimes I need to get close to the subject and this 50mm it's perfect for it. The sharpness on this lens it's phenomenal. I really recommend it.

    I shoot professionally and needed a cheap prime lens for a shoot. Focus is a little slower compared to higher quality Sony lenses, but for portraiture work fast focus isnt quite as critical as an event. Bought on sale and happy with it for a cheap lens.

    makes amazing, sharp pictures. Good for the beginners. One of the cons is that it’s a prime lens which means that you can’t zoom in or out.

      Hello MaxA, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are happy to hear you are enjoying the lens quality. We appreciate you sharing your opinion. Being a prime lens, its main perk and definition is a fixed focal length. The trade off that you are gaining is the compactness and sharpness compared to lenses that can zoom. We would love to invite you to check out our zoom lens lineup as well. Thank you again for choosing Sony. Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. -Linda Sony Social Support Sony_US

    For the price, it cannot get better than this. Great lens, It has its minor issues, autofocusing time and is very noisy. However for the price a must have lens. Takes great pictures.

    You really can't go wrong with a nifty fifty. Not much to say other than really reliable and the AF isn't as bad as others say.

    50mm focal length is a great focal length for most portraits and even some street photography. Good bokeh and image quality was good as well. Auto focus was a little slow compared to other lenses .
