    This is a very nice lens to have. It is a little loud, so maybe not perfect for video, but I got some really awesome pictures with this the customer LOVED them.

    Huge improvement over stock lens

    Wow, this lens was worth every penny. I was a little iffy about a prime lens, since you can not zoom in or out -- but the results from using this lens are amazing! This lens will allow you to take awesome portraits with blur backgrounds! I have replace my stock lenses with this lens. One thing to keep in mind is how far you will need to be from your subject when using the 50mm lens, it's quite far...you may want to go with the 35mm if you don't have room to stand back 10+ feet when trying to take a group photo.

    Great light lens for still pictures. Took this lens when I did not want to carry other heavy large lenses. Got better quality snapshots that normally would have been taken with a phone camera. Slow for action shots and miss being able to zoom.

    Really amazing extra lens to throw in the bag, the bokeh out preforms several thousand dollar lenses due to single zoom. Great starter lens or a nice second lens

      Hi KarenA,
       
      Sony commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority.
       
      Thank you for sharing your positive feedback about the lens. Yes, you're absolutely right! The Sony SEL50F18 lens is known for producing sharp images, and its lightweight design makes it highly portable and easy to handle. Its focal length of 50mm and wide maximum aperture of f/1.8 allow for beautiful background blur and a shallow depth of field, which can really make your subject stand out. 
      If you ever have any questions or need further assistance with your camera or any other photography-related inquiries, please don't hesitate to reach out.!
