Q: I need a prime lens for my SONY NEX 6/B camera -
A: I have the three main lenses and find myself using the 16-50 most but the 1.8/50 is the best lens of the group, the 55-210 is a great lens but it makes the camera feel a bit front heavy. The 16-50 is a good lens that makes the camera feel very compact and adds the versatility of getting wide shots, it is just the glass on the 50 is superior to the other two. I use all three frequently and get some awesome results. Good luck and I hope this was helpful.
A: You are gonna love this lens. I got the kit lens and this 50mm. It's great!

This lens is amazing!!!! I have been doing more portraits recently and this is the lens to go with. For the price, you cant find much better than this lens. The bokeh is very smooth and lowlight conditions look amazing. My only complaint is that you can not zoom in or out so it can be annoying to move back and forth, but at the same time its worth the price. I dont mind moving a couple feet back to save a couple hundred bucks.

Just bought this lens to up my picture-taking game and it did not disappoint. Great quality photos. Gives off great bokeh and focuses fast.

This lens actually deseves 4.5 stars. The sharpness is excellent and AF and OSS work very well. My only complaint so far is that there is no manual focus override built into the lens. If there was a switch on the lens like Nikon uses instead of diving into a menu to activate MF, this lens would easily rate 5 stars. It's a solid, lightweight prime that is a joy to use on my A6000.
