Great Portrait Lens with great background blur effect.
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.

Lens Test: Sony 50mm f/1.8 DT SAM AF
Sony shooters committed to the APS-C-sized sensor have a new fast 50 to consider. Launched alongside Sony's latest entry-level DSLRs (including the Alpha 380 ), it gives everyday shooters the benefits of limited depth of field without breaking the bank.

Sony 50mm f/1.8 DT ( SAL-50F18 ) - Lab Test / Review
The Sony 50mm f/1.8 DT ( SAL-50F18 ) is pretty much a no-brainer for Sony APS-C DSLR users. The lens is very sharp even at f/1.8 and the resolution is about as good as it gets around f/5.6. Lateral CAs are absolutely negligible which adds to the outstanding sharpness perception.
Budget build but good optics
Recently the price dropped a bit on this lens, so I picked one up with a gift voucher I had from Sony directly. I've used all the 3 "budget primes" from Sony in the past, on balance this is probably the most appealing of the 3 lenses (35/50/85mm) for APS-C users.
REVIEW: Sony NEX 50mm f/1.8 OSS Lens Sample Photos
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.
Very good lens - Very good price
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
