Due to large f1.8 aperture its great lens for Low light Photography. Its a Fixed Focus lens, so, no zoom, but produces very good portraits with blurring the background and focussing on the subject.

The new Sony NEX E Mount 50mm portrait lens gives anyone who has the standard NEX E Mount kit lens (18-55mm), or the NEX E Mount 16mm pancake, the ability to take portrait photos with a wide f/1.8 aperture, for more out of focus backgrounds, and better subject seperation.

Compact and very affordable

Non-internal focusing

One of the best lenses that I have ever owned. This lens is the least expensive 50mm offered by Sony. By using this lens you will be able to take great picture in low light condition, and if you are into portrait photography this lens is a must have if you are looking for a capable portrait lens...

-Perfect price; - Good focal length; - low light capability

- Build quality is a bit plastic; - Slow and noisy Auto focus

Really thought this would fit my Sony a5100. Had to return it. So yeah I had to put 1 star because I was disappointed.

The lens would effectively give you a 75mm focal length on a APS-C camera. It gives beautiful colors and sharpness and the bokeh is good too. At f/1.8 it is a relatively fast lens and pretty good for low light photography.

Cheap; light; nice bokeh

for this price; none

Perfect item. Very nice pictures with this lens, briliant and very good an fast focus. Value for money. The best choise if you need a portrait lens for yous sony dslr and you haven't money for the f/1.4. Plastic but heave its ok with that!

55mm at 1.8 for $149! Not built from the best stuff on earth but a must have if you don't want to get the better built quality at $400. Great pictures and sharp.

1.8 aperture and price

Long term built quality

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
