FE 50mm lens review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love this lens. I plan on getting the Sigma or G master lens next. But this lens has a really good depth of field. Can work in low light. The auto focus is fast and somewhat quite when it’s focusing. I’ve created some amazing footage and taken dope pictures with this lens.

Good lens for the money.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Good for beginners
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good lens if its your first prime lens. The autofocus is not the best but gets the job done. Its comparatively lite and easy to carry. Just keep in mind that this is not a APS-C lens so you should consider the crop factor and you wouldnt exactly get 50mm.
