    One of my favorite lenses. The nifty fifty, with such low aperture and such an awesome focal length you genuinely can’t go wrong with this lens. 10/10.

    Really good lens, it’s a little loud so I would recommend upgrading to the Zeiss 55mm if you’re a videographer or just have the extra cash; but this is a solid lens on a budget

    I was looking for a small prime lens. At $250 a f/1.8 is quite a steal. But autofocus is slow and noisy. I could live with that though. But the first photo I took was of my cat laying about in the sun. Her whiskers on one side was fringed pink and fringed green on the other. I returned this lens -- partly because of the photo quality and partly because I realized I really wanted a nice zoom instead of a prime. The 24 - 105mm f/4 I got instead is almost 6 times the price but I'm going to use it and enjoy it much more. But for $250, the 50mm/f1.8 a decent lens for cheap. Note that I used this lens on a Sony A7 M3.

      Hi KarenA,
       
      Sony commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority.
       
      Thank you for sharing your positive feedback about the lens. Yes, you're absolutely right! The Sony SEL50F18 lens is known for producing sharp images, and its lightweight design makes it highly portable and easy to handle. Its focal length of 50mm and wide maximum aperture of f/1.8 allow for beautiful background blur and a shallow depth of field, which can really make your subject stand out. 
      If you ever have any questions or need further assistance with your camera or any other photography-related inquiries, please don't hesitate to reach out.!
