I've already owned this lens in the past, but I bought this specifically for my Sony a7 for taking better photographs in low light as it has a large f/1.8 aperture. This lens is compatible with both APS-C and full frame Sony mirrorless cameras and will have a 75mm equivalent focal length on cameras...

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...

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.

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

I think the bad autofocus reviews reallyexaggerate. Using eye AF on A7RIII the focus is spot on almost in all shots, and theres almost no hunting. Stopping down the lens a little improves IQ significantly. Im super happy with the results I got mainly from shooting at F2-F2.8.

The Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 Lens is a compact, lightweight lens with an extremely popular, "normal" focal length and a very attractively wide aperture. Stopped-down somewhat, this lens produces very sharp images.

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...

The lens is used on my Sony a6000 the pictures are outstanding, Colors are bright and vibrant, no signs of any distortion, great for low light situations, sometimes slow to focus but a very good lens.

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...

The Sony 50mm FE retails for $250 and can regularly be found with Sony rebates for $200. The plastic build is about what you would expect at this price point, but the optics and image quality has shown me that this lens can punch above it’s weight when called upon.
