The best value prime lens from any manufacturer tends to be the nifty fifty, as it is usually relatively inexpensive and tack sharp and this is no exception. This lens has great build quality and is a really good match for my Sony A6400. It is not too large, making it easy to keep in my Thinktank Mirrorless Mover 10 bag. I was impressed that it came with a lens hood included.Unlike the FE full frame version, this lens has optical stabilisation, making it ideal for low light conditions when photographing static objects. However, I have mainly used it as a portrait lens as the 75 mm full-frame equivalent focal length is ideal for taking pictures of grandchildren. I have been really impressed how well the lens autofocus mechanism works in combination with the face and eye detection 4D tracking system of the A6400. I took 520 photographs this afternoon and was really impressed by the keeper rate. Even with the lens at f/2.0 or 2.2, the vast majority of photographs had the toddlers eyes in extremely sharp focus, with a nicely rendered bokeh for the background, despite the fact that they were constantly on the move.Strongly recommended

This was purchased for my wife. She’s the classic selfie generation and i’m ussualy the photographer.We have another auto lense that is a bit smaller (i think 30mm) and gave great easy portraits, however it wouldn’t give the blurred background, crisp foreground effect and once in low light it struggled. For the 50mm lense not a problem, tap the screen where you want it to focus, give it a sec and beautiful clear crisp images, with a blurred background.Anything more than 1m behind the subject and it will start to blur. The lense works great in low light to. The wife wanted to hold some xmas lights in the dark and the lense didn’t even break a sweat. I was really stunned. Aswell as close photos the lense deals well with far away subject matter, capturing clear images.The only cons i found with the lense was that due to the default zoom the photographer had to be a bit further back than another 50mm lense I’ve used. This can be a bit awkward when in confined spaces (a small house). The lense doesn’t deal well with nightime traffic or moving lights in the background. We were taking photos with the town christmas decorations in the background, whenever a car drove towards us or away the lense would try and over compensate and forget what it was meant to be focusing on.

This lens Exceeded my expectations. Focus is relatively fast and very accurate. The quality of pictures taken is superb. At f1.8 there is no vignetting, or blurring at the edges. Keep in mind this lens has quite a narrow field of view, perfect for portraits, not so good for close ups, except for small objects, I found it amazing for taking shots of plants and flowers. I haven’t really used it for video.

Very nifty. Prefect for any detail shots you may want to take. (for the newbies) Dont think this is a macro lens. You will need to give yourself some room to photograph your subject. This lens should be close to an equivalent of 85mm full frame.Best lens in my arsenal. I take it everywhere. And I’ve always been surprised how often I reach for it. Can be a very fun lens to use. For the money it’s flawless.

Bought this ahead of a trip to India with my Sony A5000 camera. The lens is beautiful for portraits and my friends have been thrilled with the pictures that I’ve taken of them. It’s my first fixed lens and I didn’t find it hard to adapt. Within a short while I was composing scenes in my mind before lifting the camera. Sure, you have to move around a bit more but you’ll take better pictures as a result. At its largest apertures, low light performance is superb.
Love or not –
I have the wide angle and zoom E-mount lenses. This lens being a 50mm prime is harder to use in terms of distance from subject but the resulting pictures are brilliant! A superb lens for portrait photography on a fairly low-priced camera.Not just for portaits mind, experiment out and about with it in many situations and it will improve your photography skills.A great addition to the bag especially for family birthdays, weddings, etc.Seems to capture a perfect balance between sharp detail and softness.
