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.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Bought it on sale for 150, and it's a great lens at that price. Perfect for portraits, candids, action shots of my dog. Using it on a crop sensor alpha 6100 so the zoom is ~75mm, only inconvenient if in close quarters. Not super quick to focus but hasn't lost me any moments so far.
