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...

If you're looking for a Sony FE lens around the 50mm focal length that has a wide aperture, but don't want to break the bank, then this is a solid investment. I managed to get some really decent shots with great shallow depth of field at f/1.8.

Affordable Fe Lens; Great Shallow Dof; Lightweight; Smooth Focus Ring

Loud Autofocus Noises

Great camera overall especially in the day light. I find the focusing to let it down somewhat though especially in low light, found it focus hunting quite a bit and it became very annoying as when it did finally get the focus it was a flawless image . But for the price it's worth it

Auto focus is very slow. Returned it.

Most camera marques now have an inexpensive 50mm lens in their ranges. These are often described as "nifty fifties" or "plastic fantastics", the implication being that they are cheap and cheerful, but often superb performers as well.

I'm new to this type of lens, but it is awesome for outdoor shots, specifically when taking "targeted" shots. It is easy to adjust the BOCA for professional looking photos. The lens works great in all light conditions.

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

When I purchased this lens I was still kinda debating if this lens is really worth it. Because I already have a 30mm f1.4 lens that I really used but when I tried using it, it surpasses my expectations the picture quality is really nice and sharp!

Light weight; captures sharp shots and good picture quality

None

I read reviews explaining this was a great lens, but I was now prepared for how great. I've had it for 4 months, and it is a dream to work with. The images look great even wide open, and I love the bokeh effect.

Image Quality; Build; Steady Shot

no focus distance indicator

this is perfect when you only need one lense and you are on the go.

Easy To Use; Lightweight; Reliable
