    This lens will give you a nice blurred out background and focus on the image in front of you.

    Great for portrait photos. It’s a little close on a crop sensor so be prepared to back up. But that bokeh...great.

    The lens has really good Bokeh. The only issue is it really slow and noisy while focusing, but no complaints for the price

    I use this on a A7RIV and it works just like a 50mm is supposed to work. For the price, it is fine.

    This lens is amazing. The auto focus on the lens is a little loud but easy fix when you switch to MF.

    I have used this lense in multiple projects, I enjoy the lense, and the results I achieve with the lense, for both photo and video. The biggest downfall is the loud autofocus motor. If you are using the lense in a video situation where you want to use the audio, you will pick up the motor noise on both the internal camera mic, and external shotgun mics.
