However, some customers have expressed concerns about the autofocus speed and the level of noise it produces. Overall, the lens seems to be well-received for its optical qualities and user-friendliness.

      Hi MoisesF, Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry you are having difficulty with this lens. This is a fixed lens therefore it does not have a zoom capability. We do offer an abundance of other lens choices that will allow for a zoom. Please feel free to contact Sony Support at 239-245-6360 if you need any suggestions. Thank you for choosing Sony. -Linda 1-2-26 Sony Social Support Sony_US

    I'm new to taking pics with a real camera, I liked taking pictures with the kit lens on the A7ii but a friend suggested I try a prime lens and it changed the game for me. The 50mm aka Nifty Fifty is the place to start for sure. I'm excited to get the 85 next.
