    I have a Sony Alpha 6000 and purchased this 50 mm f1.8 for it. Due to cold weather I’ve only tried it indoors but I am happy with how it performs in low light.

    Let me start this off by saying this is NOT the worst lens I’ve ever used, not at all. If you’re on a budget or just starting out and you absolutely need a cheap prime lens then this is for you, otherwise, steer clear from this one. The picture qualtiy is okay but not great. The lens has a lot of aberration around edges. Having the bokeh at a low price is nice however. I returned this lens because I wasnt happy with it, I would have also liked to have used this for video but this is not the OSS varrient meaning it doesnt have any kind of stablization. It wasn’t too bad for photos but for video it was unusable. They do have a OSS version which costs $100 more but I would save up for a better quality lens. I was slightly dissapointed with Sony on this one just because it has no quality aspects to it, usually their products have at least one or two things good about them.

    Good quality lens. Glass it great, let's in a lot of light. Focusing hunts a little if there isn't much contrast in the subject, for example a red subject on a red background

    This little lens honestly surprised me. For the price, it’s a pretty good starter Prime. I’ve used it for a number of quick portraits and overall I’d say it performs well for the price. If you’re starting out with primes I recommend it!
