Great "Point n shoot" Lens
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price and quality its not bad. I just got into photography and this is an awesome lens to capture pics quickly but when filming, lens makes a small sound to focus. you can not zoom it remember that, if you have megapixels on your camera, cool, just zoom in during post.

Great lens and super value
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this lens to take a variety of photography and video. I can’t express how happy I am. The lens quality is outstanding for the price. The bokeh is great and you have all the way down to f 1.8. It shoots very well light

Inexpensive Nifty Fifty
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a beginner this is a great entry level lens. I use this to take shot of products. This is an inexpensive way to see what a difference switching lenses actually does. Also if later you decide to buy a more expensive 50mm, this will make you appreciate the new one and why you spending more money.

Good lens for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great for the price. Chromatic aberration can be very present - especially in low light - but can always fix in post. Auto-focus is not great, even at a high aperture. Would recommend using as a manual lens if there’s a lot of movement or low light. Auto focus can be good in the day time with minimal distractions

Not the best quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The lens was not clear as expected, for 260 dollars, you would expect something clear and Sony is usually pretty spot on with their products. I think this product should be worked on and maybe upgraded.

Great value for a simple lens
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens is a great value, but it's one of the most simple 50mm lenses you can get today. Autofocus is slow, for a prime, it's not sharp at all, and the colors are a bit odd at times. That said, for the price, it represents a amazing value and it's a totally useable lens. I bought this because it was $100 off with a camera I ordered and resold it at a profit after reviewing it on my website, but for someone on an extreme budget, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Just don't expect it to be a stellar performer in any way.
