  11. Elmerr

    This is good for far range,,, I purchased this over a month ago and used it a couple times,,, overall decent

  12. Nsulli

    I’m giving this 2 stars because I made a mistake when buying. I did not make the distinction that this was an APS-C E-mount lens. I thought it was full-frame (FE).

    I would have appreciated if the Best Buy employee who sold me the Sony A7III that day would’ve mentioned this to me. I meant to buy a 50mm lens, not a crop-factor ~75mm lens.

    Rookie mistake.

    Can’t comment on the quality of lens itself because I never used it.

  13. Arkie

    Can’t go wrong with the lense, works great. Would definitely recommend it

  14. Jason

    Shape, light weight, and fair priced. Great for any of the a6xxx line.

  15. Shubham

  16. Andy5654

  19. Vonskii1

    Wow, the nicest investment have made so far.
    The lens takes sharp and crisp pics!!!

  20. Nagarjuna

    I took a open box. When I received the item it has a different lense cap. Otherwise lense is really good.

  21. MattK25

    Great lens, and a great addition to my Sony Alpha camera.

  22. NKwish

    Great lens. Needed something a bit better than the kit lens with the A6400. Ive taken some great pictures of my son with this one.

  23. Dmv9

    Good prime lens to have in your bag. f/1.8 is good for subject separation.

  29. Mike

    Extremely sharp image quality. Has been my go to portrait lens with the A6000.

  30. AriB

    Inexpensive 50mm lens. Good value for the quality but nothing special. If you need a 50mm lens this is a great lens.

  31. Jpo1981

    Dont waste your money on this one. Takimg it back !!

  32. Mike

    Image has excellent sharpness and the image stabilization works well. A great lens for blogging and shooting podcasts. However sometimes I wish I had a little wider lens as things are fairly close up for my use.

  33. FaiB

    Love the less one of the ones for a beginner. I’m pictures are amazing.

  34. Samy

    If you shooting portrayed, this is a lens you’re looking for if you’re shooting in a dark area this is a Lindsay looking for if you don’t have enough light and you trying to shoot better pictures this is a Lindsay looking for for Somerset collection, Saad security OK all right bye

    Everything i thought it would be. Beautiful shots! Works great with my EV-10 and my A7iii.

  40. MonsterJazz

    Very good lens for the Sony A6000 series of cameras. Images come out quite nice. Focus is quick and very little breathing. The price is good for what you get. Check it out!

  41. Hope

    Great lens at an impressive price point. Great for portraits!

  42. Zee90

    This really helped the quality of my portrait photography. Recommend as a lense staple.

  43. JFrost

    This lens has been more than efficient, and definitely delivers specially for the price point

  44. OmarM

    Got this lens to use with my old Sony fs100 and so far it’s been working pretty well. Autofocus and oss work just fine. Lens is sharp not heavy at all. Not a single issue so far.

  45. Brjab

    I love this lens. It did take great photos. I am not a professional. The only thing I wished it had the zoom in and out function.

  46. Midhundas

    Item was good. Packaging was poor. Item was good. Packaging was poor.

  47. HaylA

    If you are looking to buy a first prime lens for your kit, this is a great place to start. I bought this lens first before buying the 18-105mm f4 G zoom lens and still keep this lens in my rotation paired with the a6400. Chromatic aberration is definitely present between f1.8-f3 around sharply contrasting edges but gets better beyond that. It’s a $300 lens so you cannot expect it to be as sharp as a Zeiss, but the quality of images it produces is still stunning. Really nice bokeh. When this lens was initially released, many users were unhappy with the slow autofocus, however firmware upgrades have improved this greatly. I still find that it is not fast enough to shoot sports, or anything fast paced. The autofocus makes a bit of noise so if you need your lens to be very quiet, this is not for you. It’s not internally stabilized, so do not expect to use this for video unless you are using a gimbal or tripod. I mainly use this lens for portraits and low light. Taking into account the limitations, it is still a great lens and worth purchasing.

  48. Aracely

    Obsessed with this lens. The quality of images is gorgeous, so happy I upgraded my life!

  49. Bryce

    Amazing lens. Takes great photos in portraits and use is very easy as long as you have the right camera.

  50. Juliocbrito

    I was wondering how good this lens performs with my Sony A6000, and I was shocked after i tried. The high contrast and the sharpness are incredibly gorgeous. I haven’t have the chance to tested all away thru, but i am definitely do so. Then i will post some sample pictures.
