    • Excellent portrait lens for the Sony A7 III
I use this lens on my Sony A7 III, and it’s been a great addition to my camera bag. I was previously using a larger lens for portraits, which meant I had to stand much farther away from my subjects. The 50mm focal length feels much more natural and lets me shoot at a comfortable distance. The images are sharp, the background blur is beautiful, and it performs especially well for portraits. It’s also lightweight, making it easy to carry for longer sessions. If you own an A7 III and are looking for an affordable portrait lens, I highly recommend this one. ... show more

Everyone needs a 50 mm lens in their kit . At a 1.8 aperture and a low cost, This is a win-win. This is a great portrait lens. Keep in mind this is a prime lens.

    • Stunning
This lens is the standard for quality, affordability and your intro to professional lenses. It is a well rounded lens that gets a lot of the job done with out needing to change lenses. The color is stunning and at 1.8 you get incredible sharpness and clarity for the picture. The body is a little “too plastic” for what I would expect from Sony but it is their intro to FE and professional lenses. But the value to quality ratio is much higher than anticipated. I use the Sony A7iv and definitely see this lens being my work horse ... show more

    • Almost Perfect!
So many know this is a very inexpensive nifty fifty and those who have it also know it is a pretty awesome lens, even though it is all plastic and not very robust. The only complaint I have is there is no MF/AF switch on the side like most of he other lenses, even the less expensive ones. This is not a big issue though because I have a custom button dedicated on my camera to switch from manual to AF so not a big deal but for those who would rather save their custom buttons for other things it is kind of a little bit frustrating. With that said, no other complaints. The image quality, color, vignette, chromatic aberration, lens flare, and distortions are all well controlled for such an inexpensive lens. The most impressive attribute is the autofocus. Super fast and accurate. It is not an all weather lens though so I will not use it in the rain, but that is normal for inexpensive lenses. If you absolutely need a 50mm with good weather seals you need to step up to the 1.4 version or go with a third party lens, which is substantially more expensive. Even good third party 50mm f1.4s are pretty pricy but for some it is worth it for the type of work they do (weddings/landscapes). Of course if you are a full time photographer and get paid for what you do, you will want the best glass anyway and it is part of your business model. ... show more

The Sony FE 50mm is a must-have in my kit as a 12-year photographer. It’s that reliable old friend: compact, lightweight, and always ready to back you up when the light’s failing. The f/1.8 aperture shines in low light, and its buttery-smooth bokeh turns everyday portraits into something almost magical. It’s sharp even wide open, though the autofocus could be faster in demanding moments. Still, this lens has bailed me out countless times—from capturing the quiet soul of a portrait to chasing fleeting expressions on the street. ... show more

    • Good lens
Great standard lens. I may be old school but I love a standard lens. 1.8 is fast, faster than a lot of zooms for extra capability, and sometimes you just need to stretch yourself creatively with just one focal length. Good to have on hand when the light is less than great and flash isn't what you want. ... show more
