Fast and accurate autofocus is achieved with a newly developed DC motor focus actuator system which drives all lens groups for optimum focus precision and speed as well as quiet operation.

The AF performance is very good for a contrast detection system (albeit highly dependent on the base camera). AF operations are basically noiseless. Manual focusing works "by wire" so the focus ring is not directly coupled to the focus gears but to the AF motor.

If you turn a blind eye to the build quality, the Sony FE 50 mm f/1.8 might be a very attractive alternative for the more expensive Zeiss Sonnar T* 55 mm f/1.8 FE. The cheaper lens is weaker at the maximum relative aperture, that’s true, but on stopping down it provides even higher MTFs while...

Very good image quality in the frame centre,, Good image quality on the edge of the APS-C sensor,, Low longitudinal chromatic aberration,, Imperceptible lateral chromatic aberration,, Lack of spherical aberration problems,, Negligible distortion,, Slight astigmatism,, Low vignetting on the APS-C...

Image quality near the maximum relative aperture on the edge of the frame could have been a bit better,, Huge coma,, Significant vignetting on full frame,, Slow autofocus.

The new Sony FE 50mm F1.4 ZA is impressive. Our friend Roger Cicala over at LensRentals notes its central sharpness performance to exceed even the venerable Zeiss Otus , as well as the Sigma 50mm Art. He even found it to out-perform the 55/1.8 centrally, but fall behind it peripherally.

The Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 is the fifth standard lens for the full-frame Sony E-mount (excluding the 50mm f/2.8 macro) and it is also one of the least expensive at just shy of $250. Since there currently aren’t many affordable lenses for the system, it is certain to appeal to beginners or those who want...

As an economical way to get a "nifty fifty", the average Sony user probably won't complain about the Sony FE 50mm ƒ/1.8: at $250, it's one of Sony's least expensive lenses, though compared to other manufacturers, there is still a premium price.

Affordable, sharp, well-built, and stabilized—can you really ask for more?...

If you are more apt to take portrait-style photos, then this is the lens you’ll want. And it might just be the solution you are looking for if you want to take those kinds of photos with professional quality.

Focus is slower than expected, Not suitable for video function on most cameras, Some say the quality is average and not so much beyond that
