    Very satisfied besides the dust found on the lens immediately after opening. Nothing my lens wipe couldn’t fix. First time doing an online order pickup and it was easier than expected. Thanks, Best Buy!

    Sharp? Yup. Small and lightweight? Yup. Relatively Inexpensive? Yup. It’s not the quickest focusing or quietest lens for sure, but it does what you’d expect. Highly recommend this instead of a slow zoom if you’re a beginner, and it’s nice to have a small, lightweight 50mm for out and about for more experienced shooters.

    This review is from FE 50mm f/1.8 Prime Lens for Sony Alpha E-mount Cameras - Black
