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.

My First Prime Lens as a Newbie

I just started learning photography, and I am loving this. Plus the advantage of using am APS-C camera, it was good for portraits and even street captures.

Best budget lens for bokeh

The Sony FE 50mm F1.8 is arguably the best budget lens at this price point for Sony full-frame cameras. It delivers great portrait photos with beautiful background blur (bokeh) thanks to its wide f/1.8 aperture, which allows for excellent subject isolation and low-light performance. However, it does come with a trade-off — the lens produces noticeable focus noise while autofocusing. While this might not be a deal-breaker for photography, it’s less ideal for video work, where silent operation is crucial. So, while it can create great videos, I wouldn’t recommend it for video recording due to the noise. That said, for the price, it’s a fantastic lens for anyone looking to shoot sharp, vibrant portraits without breaking the bank. Overall, it’s a great value for the price and an excellent addition to any beginner or budget-conscious photographer’s kit.
