    great lens for portrait photography! The low f stop makes it good in low light conditions.

    A nearsighted lens that hunts in low light

    A decent lens for the price. However it’s not the sharpest lens in Sony’s lineup and hunts for focus in low light.

    You get what you pay for, excellent photos for the price, but feels cheap and its loud, but what do you expect for 200

    This is a good lens it is not a G-lens or a GM-lens but you can get some good photo's out of it. I think it is worth the money

    I decided to buy this over the kit lens. I think it amounted to $50 more than if I had bought the camera with the kit lens and it was well worth it! If you want to take full advantage of your Sony Cameras, buy this over the kit lens. You won’t regret it!

    Good lens for the Sony A7iii. Can be very loud and the auto focus misses sometimes but all around it’s a good nifty 50.
