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.

    For the price, nothing beats it. If you’re looking for a 50mm this 1.8 will do the job no questions asked.

    Good price for a Sony prime. A little louder than I would like when focusing and not the fastest kens around. Image quality is excellent.

    Excellent lens! As sharp as the more expensive 55 1.8 Zeiss. I don't see a difference and half the cost.
