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.

    Its a nice lense and great for its price. I wouldn't recommend it if you are looking for a large varity of shots. It doesn't zoom, and you can't change the focus. But it has really good quality. A good lense for stills, and close-ups

    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.

    The autofocus is a little slow so if you shoot quick moving subjects you may want to go ahead and pay the additional price for a quicker lens. Overall for the price it’s a great buy.

    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
