5.0 out of 5 stars Great budget lens
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2024
Like the title suggest this is a great budget lens. It works great for the price and what you may use it for. I have had ZERO issues with it and take some great pictures for my skill level. This is no pro level lens so I wouldn’t suggest it for that type of use; but for my beginners the weight, size and portability are great for the price.

Everything is great - easy to put on and take off, fits well, focuses well. Pictures are sharp and the f1.8 works in low light. This was a gift for my husband and he is delighted with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Old school 50mm starter
Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2024
Very sharp lens, fair priced, good all around lens for learning especially.
Very good aperture range makes it very versatile.
Makes it easy to get closer or pan out for your framing (you move instead of zoom in/out)
a good way to learn with a fixed Prime.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Lens
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2023
For what it is, it's a good lens that fast and sharp. It produces good quality images while being at an affordable price.

The biggest issue has to be it's autofocus capabilities. It is slow and the motors are loud. If you want to take images of fast-moving subjects, I would suggest looking at other lenses but if your work is heavily centered on portraits and you're on a budget, you should consider buying this lens.

This lens is exactly what I needed for my camera kit. It is light, well built and gives me sharp pictures.

5.0 out of 5 stars great for low light and portraits also very versatile
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2024
I got this lens thinking I would use it occasionally for some night shots, and some portraits. I didn't think I would get as much use out of it as I do.While it is true that the autofocus is slower than my other sony lens, and it's somewhat audible, it is sharp, when you're using it

I purchased this for my girlfriend to use with her Sony a7 ii. The image quality is fantastic, including great autofocus, night lighting, and bokeh. It's incredible how well it works given the price point. This lens is great and I highly recommend it!
