  • Great cheap lens!

  • NIFTY FIFTY
Style: SEL50F18F/2
Everyone needs this lens in their kit. It the cheapest great quality prime lens Sony has ever released in my opinion. Photos always come out looking crisp and clear with that classic bokeh look. The auto focus is fast and accurate. The lens is compact and lightweight. The one drawback is it is a bit noisy when focusing. A small price to pay for the quality of the stills. This may be the niftiest fifty i've ever owned! ... show more

  • Works great!
Style: SEL50F18F/2
I purchased this for my girlfriend to use with her Sony a7 ii. The image quality is fantastic, including great autofocus, night lighting, and bokeh. It's incredible how well it works given the price point. This lens is great and I highly recommend it!

  • Decent image quality and focus speed results in a decent value lens!
Style: SEL50F18F/2
This lens is pretty similar to the Canon 50mm f1.4. It focuses at about the same speed, and it the noise it makes while focusing is similar. Image quality is good enough. It's sharp, contrasty, flare isn't terrible and I haven't had any significant issues with fringing or CA. On an A7 iii it focuses in about 1 second and does surprisingly well in low light. Yes it does make noise when focusing and it seems like it over shoots a bit and then acquires focus. I haven't had any issues with it missing focus. Overall this is a decent lens when you consider the price. It is comparable with similar offerings from Canon. ... show more

  • Almost Perfect!
Style: SEL50F18F/2
So many know this is a very inexpensive nifty fifty and those who have it also know it is a pretty awesome lens, even though it is all plastic and not very robust. The only complaint I have is there is no MF/AF switch on the side like most of he other lenses, even the less expensive ones. This is not a big issue though because I have a custom button dedicated on my camera to switch from manual to AF so not a big deal but for those who would rather save their custom buttons for other things it is kind of a little bit frustrating. With that said, no other complaints. The image quality, color, vignette, chromatic aberration, lens flare, and distortions are all well controlled for such an inexpensive lens. The most impressive attribute is the autofocus. Super fast and accurate. It is not an all weather lens though so I will not use it in the rain, but that is normal for inexpensive lenses. If you absolutely need a 50mm with good weather seals you need to step up to the 1.4 version or go with a third party lens, which is substantially more expensive. Even good third party 50mm f1.4s are pretty pricy but for some it is worth it for the type of work they do (weddings/landscapes). Of course if you are a full time photographer and get paid for what you do, you will want the best glass anyway and it is part of your business model. ... show more

  • great for low light and portraits also very versatile
Style: SEL50F18F/2
I got this lens thinking I would use it occasionally for some night shots, and some portraits. I didn't think I would get as much use out of it as I do.While it is true that the autofocus is slower than my other sony lens, and it's somewhat audible, it is sharp, when you're using it

  • Great budget lens
Style: SEL50F18F/2
Like the title suggest this is a great budget lens. It works great for the price and what you may use it for. I have had ZERO issues with it and take some great pictures for my skill level. This is no pro level lens so I wouldn’t suggest it for that type of use; but for my beginners the weight, size and portability are great for the price. ... show more
