Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the image quality, price, ease of use, low light performance, weight, and size of the FE 50mm f/1.8 Standard Prime Lens. Many appreciate its affordability and how lightweight and compact it is. However, some customers note that the autofocus could be improved, and some have mentioned that it produces some noticeable noise. The lens is generally well-regarded for its performance and value.

    If your going to spend at a minimum of $1300.00 for a Sony Alpha Camera then make sure you set aside some money for the lenses. This prime lense creates beautiful bokeh. With a low aperture and crystal clear and fast auto-focus. A must have for any camera bag!
