I would recommend this to a friendFraser prime for the price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this lens for the 1.8. It’s sharp and great for the price, however the autofocus is a bit loud, so for video purposes, you may have to use manual focus.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Used this on my a6300. I took a bunch of photos with it and although a great lens, its not wide enough for what I do. The few "portrait" photos I did came out great. Crisp detail, beautiful color, but not what I needed. If you are shooting portrait, this might be for you. Best thing is to bring camera to store, see if they will allow you to take a few photos.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat lens.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens is awesome. Like many other reviews have stated, the time it takes to focus is longer than other lenses I have. Other than that, superb.
I would recommend this to a friendSurprisingly Great
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cheap 50mm sounds to good to be true! Well it is purchased this for a little throw around 50mm until I get the ZEISS 1.4... however, this lens is pretty sweet on the A7iii reviews said AF was terrible but that was the Aii. Autofocus is fast enough to get what you want in frame at 1.8 in time. Pictures are decently vibrant and sharp no complaints. Great lens for the price... you won’t be disappointed
I would recommend this to a friendNot the best quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The lens was not clear as expected, for 260 dollars, you would expect something clear and Sony is usually pretty spot on with their products. I think this product should be worked on and maybe upgraded.

Great quality, slow focus
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Used on my a6500. Takes great quality portraits, auto focusing is a bit on the slow side imo. Overall great lens for the price.

LOVE this lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price this can't be beat as an introductory all around lens. It's fantastic
I would recommend this to a friendGood lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's good for the portraits, it's enough sharp on f1.8 and it has a pretty good bokeh. The AF speed appears not as fast, so I'd rather not used it for the objects in motion. Using it with my Sony A7RII and (rarely) with Sony a6000
I would recommend this to a friendGreat Quality, great price

Love this camera!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Switched over from Canon and this camera really delivers. The menu is a little crazy and you really have to play with the camera. The images are clear and bright. You will need to take some time for the learning curve. Sony does not make everything seemless, but like all new things it will take some getting used too. I am excited to have this camera and if your thinking of going pro with a mirrorless, this is the best camera to start with. I caught it on sale and I'm glad I made the purchase.
