I bought this lens a couple months ago and i happy with it because I'm using it for product pictures with static scenes. The only complaint i have is the focus delay.. Its just to much to take picures like in a weeding or for people that need a rapid response on their photo.

This is much better then the kit lens in sharpness and details. I would buy it again.

The f1.8 lets in a lot of light; That makes the lens very fast to focus in normal light; Great for portraits and flower shoots with tight depth of field; Very sharp lens; In manual focus on the a6000 it is unbelievable focus control on Zoom

It is prices; Fixed focal length

Probably a little over priced despite having the built in image stabilization. But otherwise, it is a very sharp lens. Fast focusing and unlike legacy lenses it is actually made for the E-mount which means auto focus and internal aperture control with the steadyshot.

I read all the reviews before purchasing this lens. Originally I thought of buying the 35mm Sony OSS lens which was recommended as more useful for general all round photography. Whilst I agree for indoor photography and tight spaces this lens is probably too much it is however super for portraits.

Takes great portrait shots, including in low light. High quality bokeh. Quick and accurate focusing. Image stabilization makes this higher quality than a F1.8 lens. You will be limited to portrait shots with this, unless you stay far away from the subject.

Paired with the Sony A7iii I think this is really worth it for an affordable prime. Nice and sharp with good autofocus speeds despite some reviews I read

"Excellent glass for a great price as it has built-in image stabilization. Extremely sharp, even with Precision Digital Zoom (PDZ) option selected at 3X on my NEX5N - in such mode, PDZ allows me to shoot at an equivalent focal length of 225mm. Excellent bokeh (f1.8)at the 225mm equivalent.

After frustration from the kit lens in achieving those creamy bokeh portrait images, I figured I needed this lens. Best decision ever. For this reduced price you're getting some quality glass that has sharp focus, super crisp images, is incredible in low light, and gets those creamy bokeh shots for...

Fantastic lens for the price. Crisp image and fast auto focus.

Low price, high quality bokkeh, great low light, optically stabilized, shipped fast and feels well built. Fast auto focus works well on my Sony A5100 and A6500 cameras. Take a bit getting used to having to stand back a bit more than the 35mm f1.8 sony but otherwise takes excellent portrait shots...
