Decent lens, slow focus
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm a Nikon guy, but i bought a Sony for traveling. I was just going to use the kit lens with my A7II for everything but i know there will be situations where i want to shoot in low light and the kit 28-70 wont work. Price: It's a little expensive. $250 is more expensive than the Nikon G, Nikon D or Canon EF 50mm equivalents Quality: The lens is sharp. On par with the others. Focus is somewhat slow compared to the other systems. Focus in LOW light is pretty terrible. I was shooting an engagement at the blue hour and towards the end I was shooting at 1250 ISO and it couldn't focus anymore. There really aren't any alternatives. Sony is still working on building their lens arsenal. 55mm Zeiss is one option but i would never pay nearly $1000 for a 50mm F1,8 Sony just announced at 50 f2.8 Macro that sounds interesting but thats still a F2.8 not F1.8.

I would recommend this to a friendGood For the Money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have migrated to the full frame A7ii from an a6000 ad\nd loved the 50mm for that camera. So I anticipated the same great lens for the full frame... not so..... this lens hunts when in auto focus and is quite noisy...... The lens for the a6000 is a great deal! This lens is not in the same league as the 4/3rds lens ..... but for the price I will keep it.....

I would recommend this to a friendA must-have prime
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If your going to spend at a minimum of $1300.00 for a Sony Alpha Camera then make sure you set aside some money for the lenses. This prime lense creates beautiful bokeh. With a low aperture and crystal clear and fast auto-focus. A must have for any camera bag!
