Colours pop with this lens

Because of its 1.8 aperture, this low end prime lens renders the best quality colours when shooting in daylight conditions.

Great Budget Lens

Purchased this for a wedding and had a great time, in my opinion did better than Sigma 28-70mm for most photos.

Great value for the price

After a month of using, so far, autofocus is responsive enough great for stills. When recording videos, picture quality is really good but whenever it autofocuses, it makes a noise that can be heard when you record videos.

Great lens at reasonable price

This Sony FE 50mm F1.8 just fantastic, despite it is just an entry leval Sony 50mm lens. AF speed is a bit slow, hopefully Sony will improve it through new software update. Other than that, the lens is working perfectly.

Focus hunts and hunts...

The images are decent in the sun. Even with a F1.8 aperture this lens does so poorly in low light. Images are soft and not sharp indoors. Using this with an a6700. My canon rf 50mm attached to a Canon R7 was exceptional. It locked on instantly and took super sharp pictures. Skip this 50 and get something better. No OSS either.
