Nice lens, looks good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The lens is kinda noisy, but the after shot is so good. It makes you not mind it so much. The camera also looks smaller with it on. Which is a plus
I would recommend this to a friendGood lens
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a nice lens for the price. The auto focus is good but just a touch slow. However, it produces high quality images and video footage.

GET THE NIFTY FIFTY!!!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There’s a reason everyone recommends a 50mm lens. I use this all the time especially in low light. Perfect lens and not too expensive. I did get an open box (excellent condition), which saved me a little bit of $$. HIGHLY recommend!

Great 50mm!!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I- I’m blown away by this. Sony sells a 50mm 1.2 but it’s 1000+, and while I’m sure the 1.2 is nice, 1.8 as a professional is perfect just because of the price difference. It’s build a little cheaper, but not bad it will not break easy or scratch or anything just some kind of plastic but I would 10/10 recommended
I would recommend this to a friendGood portrait lens
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good sharp lens- great for portraits. It’s light weight and pretty quick to focus. Good budget lens.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat nifty fifty
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as my first full frame lens for my Sony A7M2. I purchased at a discount because it was an open box, but there wasn't anything wrong cosmetically or mechanically. I use mine for portrait work: fast at f1.8, light weight and sharp for a great price. Only gave it 4 stars because the autofocus can be slow at times/hunt but it's not terrible.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat 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.
I would recommend this to a friendSharp lens!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a sharp lens, be aware of the autofocus though because it can sometimes take some time to get the right focus
I would recommend this to a friendGreat portrait lens
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This does a fine job and works well with my A7ii. There may be better lenses but not for my budget
