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.

    Very good image quality but auto focus is a bit slow tends to hunt but nails focus every time which is the importance. No eye auto focus as well. But for its price I would definitely purchase again

    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
