    This lens is a dream! Made the mistake of buying the 2.8 thinking there's no way the difference in it and the 1.4 could justify the price difference . Man was I wrong! This is a must have in any portrait photographers bag!

    I am really impressed with this lens. It takes beautiful photos and shooting at f1.4 gives it that pretty bokeh background. Love that it’s lightweight compared to the 50mm f1.2. It’s an all around great lens!

    I’m a amateur photographer. It was hard for me to find the right lens. There are a forest of e-mound lens. Finally I found the lens for me. The Sony 50mm f1.4 is a Sequoia in that forest.
