I would recommend this to a friendNot great in low light
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Could do better in low light but good as a starter lens
I would recommend this to a friendSlow Focus But Great Image Quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tested this lens on my Sony NEX-7. The lens is a bit slow on focus. It is loud while focusing as well. Although the image quality is exceptionally well. If using for portrait photography and manually focusing, the focus ring is exceptionally well. This is the "nifty fifty" for Sony. Great Price point of 199.99 for the image quality.
I would recommend this to a friendDecent quality pictures

Good value but has limitations
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens is good to your wallet and can work on full frame and APC sized cameras. OK in size and weight. But the limitation is focus speed. It compares slow to my 16-70/f4 zeiss lens. I did a firmware update to the lens and my A6000. The speed improved but still felt not fast sometimes.
I would recommend this to a friendGood for beginners
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The low price is good, it’s a good beginning lens if you’re in low light.
I would recommend this to a friendGood bokeh
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great lens to get that good bokeh blurred background effect.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat buy
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great buy! Great bokeh. Great price! Everyone should have one.
I would recommend this to a friendAn okay lens on a6000
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For one issue, on the a6000 I can't seem to get video autofocus to work, but I've tested it on my friends' cameras and it worked fine. I plan on upgrading to Full Frame soon and my older 50mm which I did get better performance from was only crop size, so now awaiting my upgrade.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNifty fifty
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchase open box because it was priced good, but unfortunately had to return it due to slow focus and noise grinding noise coming from the lens when focusing.
