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

Solid Nifty Fifty
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Haven't had the issues with autofocus I've seen a lot of complaints about but I guess the newest firmware was supposed to take care of that. Its a solid lens if you're looking for a sharp fast 50mm lens thats native to your Sony body. Subjectively I still prefer the Canon version but it's really splitting hairs. Its a nice walk around lens thats high quality and compact.

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
