This has become the lens that stays attached to my camera in perpetuity until I need a telescoping zoom. Great pairing with the Sony A6000, and vastly better than any kit lens, so long as you are willing to work around the fixed focal length.

This has become the lens that stays attached to my camera in perpetuity until I need a telescoping zoom. Great pairing with the Sony A6000, and vastly better than any kit lens, so long as you are willing to work around the fixed focal length.
Compared it to Leica prime. Will sell the leica ASAP. This is sharp, excellent contrast, rich color, may be too rich for Leica fans.
Super sharp; rich color; fast quiet focus
no marking on lens; none at all
This is a perfect combination with my Sony A6000. I take it out when I want to travel light and use out and about -it is more discreet for street photography occasions. The sharpness enables me to capture great portraits and the large aperture gives a great blurry dof effect.
Easily Interchangeable; Lightweight; Quick Focus; Sharp Focus
This lens is the perfect "nifty fifty" on the Sony a5xxx, a6xxx series of APS-C cameras. The lens has a very good build quality, and is very lightweight. The wide aperture of f/1.8 makes the lens ideal for indoors use, although if the lighting is too dim the camera will struggle to focus.
Haven't fiddled with this lens too much yet, but the little I have, I'm impressed, and already planning more photo-outings with it. Attached to my NEX-6, this provides a package that is just fun to use, especially with the camera set to A (aperture priority).
Versatile fixed focal length; great in low-light with no flash
Pricey; slightly longer barrel than 16-50mm kit lens retracted
Got this lens last April 2013 and so impressed with the quality of the pictures I had taken. Lens was so quick to focus and shots were so crisp. Low -light shots for indoors is now less of a problem.
Quality and performance
price
I bought this lens exclusively forgimbal/autofocus work on my a6500. Trust me when I say it's a must buy. When the sun is out, this thing is extremely sharp and keeps focus incredibly at 1.8 If you were on the fence, get off of it and buy this lens asap. You wont be sorry!
Using this lens provides me with glass comparable to what most manual legacy prime lenses many of us use with adapters. In lab testing a Zeiss T* will outperform in MTF data. But in the real world all the program features and enhancements offered by the SONY, like Optical Steady Shot, Auto-focus,...
Fast Program Modes; Great Dof Control; No Adapter Need; Precise Auto-focus; Very lightweight; Virtually Zero Distortion
No aperture ring
I put this lens on my A6000 and started taking professional quality photos instantly. The lifelike clarity/sharpness of this lens is nothing short of phenomenal. Auto focus is lightning fast, accurate, and silent. OSS works great. Video quality is superb even at only 1080p.
Everything but the price
The price
Makes me love the A6000 even more. Loved shooting fast primes with my Canon outfit and this lens took my a6000 to the next level. Use it as a walk around, much better than the kit lens that came on there.
