    Good entry level 50mm lens. It’s a prime lens and a bit slow, but you can’t beat the price for the f/1.8 and a nice bokeh.

    Best starter level lens to experiment with. Performs great in well lit conditions. Low light is good too.

    Exactly what it claims to be. 50mm prime portrait lens. It will hunt focus when not in use so turn camera off to save battery

    This lens takes some really sharp pictures. It was a pleasant surprise as to how tack sharp the pictures came out. The picture quality is pretty close to that of the Zeiss 55mm. The Zeiss is a little more sharp and it does focus much better but the FE 50 1.8's focus is acceptable and not as slow as some of the reviews here suggested. The FE 50mm is staying and the 55mm is going back.

    Not the best 50mm prime but good for the price.

    Good price for a Sony prime. A little louder than I would like when focusing and not the fastest kens around. Image quality is excellent.

    Great quality and great lens overall. Only thing is that it doesnt have zoom which is a low, but for the price i think the low light photograhy ll be perfect
