The media could not be loaded. I’m am just learning photography and someone recommended this lens to me. I was previously using the kit lens on the a6100 and it was fun, but wow! I am blown away and so excited to use this lens from now on. I got this lens used but like new. It came well wrapped/protected and in its original box with the hood and lens cap. I’m very happy with how clean the lens was! Not a single trace of dust. So glad I got this “Nifty Fifty!” Some people mentioned that it is pretty noisy. I recorded a video of it on my phone so you can hear it focusing. I also took a video on my camera and played it so you can hear the sound my camera picks up of it focusing as well. It was no problem for me while I was outside, but it might be a little annoying for others if you are somewhere quiet. Since I’m a beginner, I’m also not sure how well this ranks as far as speed, but I went to a live photoshoot and I was able to keep up without losing any shots because of focus! The quality is pretty great for being so lightweight and compact. I don’t feel that is cheaply made, especially for the price. Big thanks to my husband for getting this for me. I love youuu 💗

This lens is so sharp and clear and the auto focus on it is pretty good for the price point.

I ordered this lens after reading a mix of the Pro's and Con's of it all. Despite the very superficial "Con's" of this lens, I have to say the quality is beautiful and looks extremely sleek on the A6XXX series (I personally shoot on an A6000). It has great depth of field, perfect for portraiture photos. The Con's? The two biggest con's I've read are: 1.) The AF is slow, 2.) The AF is too loud. I'll only address #1 because I think a beep being too loud is beyond ridiculous to bump this lens down a star or so for it. The AF does take a little bit longer than what I think all of us would like. Sometimes it'll snatch what you're not trying to get, so you're back to square one (something that can happen with any lens). Without a doubt though it is a valid argument to say that the AF takes a bit. By "a bit" I'm talking milliseconds to maybe a second or so. But on the same token you never know what can be potentially missed if you're trying to fire off shots. The price is great, even better if you can find a gentle used one. I got mine from SaveCentral and shaved almost $100 off and the lens has absolutely no flaws. Of course people are going to unjustifiably compare this lens to higher-end lenses, but just focusing on this particular Sony - FE 50mm, get it! You definitely won't regret it and neither will your clients (if you shoot commercially or are looking to get into it).

I have a confession. I am a bonafide pixel peeper. It’s a problem and I know it. Nothing gets me more excited about photography than to snap a picture and immediately review it, zoom it in 100% and see a sharp, clear image. I wouldn’t call it an obsession but the hunt for equipment that can deliver these type of results has cost me a lot of time and money. People always say to spend more $ on the glass and less $ on the body, well I tried that. I recently bought a Sony A6500 and instead of buying several cheap lenses I bought one really good one. The beloved SEL24F18z. Don’t get me wrong, that lens and body combo is really sweet but after trying it out for a few weeks I ended up returning both. The images were nice but zoomed in at 100% they weren’t $2300 nice. So I did some more research and decided to go in the opposite direction. Expensive body, cheap lens. For the same price of the A6500 and the Zeiss 24mm I got an A7rii (Amazon Warehouse used like new) and this “cheap” lens and I’m telling you the difference is night and day. I’ve never seen images this sharp. Every picture I take with this setup looks professional (which I’m definitely not). I was concerned that the high megapixel sensor would show this lens’ weaknesses but quite the contrary. I will say for optimum sharpness to keep it stopped down to at least f2.8. As with most lenses, wide open is pretty soft. Even the Zeiss 24 was soft at 1.8. Quick Tip: Update your camera body AND the lens As soon as I put this lens on and started using it I noticed some very sporadic focus hunting going on. It wouldn’t lock onto anything at all. The short time I had with the Zeiss 24 kind of got me spoiled with ridiculously fast auto focus. So I knew something was wrong. I plugged the camera into my computer and checked for updates. Both the body and lens were one version behind current. As soon as I updated them it was smooth sailing. Well smooth might be an overstatement. This lens is quirky. In good lightning it works perfectly. A little jerky but locks on. But in low light/low contrast it’s another story. It still hunts and is very hit or miss. For the price and image quality I’m willing to overlook poor low light focusing performance. Bottom Line. If you’re like me and scrounged up your last pennies to get the expensive body and are looking for a budget lens that has image quality over focus performance, this is it.
