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.

    Great lens for the price! I bought this lens as knowing how much I was spending and did not have high expectations but it has done great! Just know this is not a $1K lens when purchasing. Overall good cost effective buy for a hobby photographer.

    Great lens for the price. Autofocus is slower than I'd like but nothing too bad. Af noise is definitely noticable so can't say it's the best for video. Otherwise, great bang for your buck.

    The picture quality is very good, great focal length and aperture, light and small footprint. The only downside is the noisy AF ( autofocus) and plasticy feel. Overall great lens for the price.

    We love this lens for our Sony a6400. It gives you quality portrait photos. It is a closer le se so it is more for up close head/body shots. But the quality of resolution is excellent and makes every picture look professional right out of the box.
