    I like the sharp images that this lens captured...however, I find that it some times is a bit slow to focus. But at the price point offered, I guess this is a trade off...,

    If you want a lens for better portraits and better focal points, this is the way to go.

    Sony make a such wonderful lens in such low price, it is sharp and light compact. Con. focus a bit slow, but not that bad if you are slow shooter

    Really sharp even may be sharpest than more Sony expensive lenses, little distortion but not that much, cheapest FE Sony lens . But very good

    I got it to do effective portraits and was sold on the nice handling of the out focus background or bokeh(?). In any case, great value and only tries one picture and love it.

    It's a wonderful addition to an amazing camera. It takes professional looking pictures even for those of us not yet at the professional level.

    While not as cheap as Canon’s nifty fifty, it’s a solid grab if you have canon or Nikon glass and you want a native Sony lens

    This has been a great lens for the price so far. It's the first prime I've ever bought and we're really enjoying it.

    Purchased this lense to take portraits on my Sony a6000. The quality is amazing. Also impressed with the auto focus and background blur.

    lightweight and very nice. ts barrel is sturdy polycarbonate and its lens mount is metal —it doesn't feel like a cheap lens.

    Sony's Nifty-Fifty

    Very inexpensive for the images it delivers, plus that pretty large aperture. The focus is a bit slow, with a pretty loud motor for focusing. The focus motor noise makes it unsuitable for video, fine for stills though.

    Perfect for portraits with a blurry background. You have to be very far away from subject because the lens is very zoomed in.
