Product Reviews

Enjoying a lot with it, very satisfied with my shots.

The process to set up and register all of my products was simple and easy. I love.

Because of its 1.8 aperture, this low end prime lens renders the best quality colours when shooting in daylight conditions.

Purchased this for a wedding and had a great time, in my opinion did better than Sigma 28-70mm for most photos.

This Sony FE 50mm F1.8 just fantastic, despite it is just an entry leval Sony 50mm lens. AF speed is a bit slow, hopefully Sony will improve it through new software update. Other than that, the lens is working perfectly.

The Best lens for photography wedding.. I want try the sony g master lens after this

Lovely light weight lens, works well, clear images, sharp focus, f/1.8 is fast. Focus motor is slow but for the price its very good.

The images are decent in the sun. Even with a F1.8 aperture this lens does so poorly in low light. Images are soft and not sharp indoors. Using this with an a6700. My canon rf 50mm attached to a Canon R7 was exceptional. It locked on instantly and took super sharp pictures. Skip this 50 and get something better. No OSS either.

I just started learning photography, and I am loving this. Plus the advantage of using am APS-C camera, it was good for portraits and even street captures.

Fantastic back up lens. Very affordable and does the job. Even better with the discounted price...great vfm

The Sony FE 50mm F1.8 is arguably the best budget lens at this price point for Sony full-frame cameras. It delivers great portrait photos with beautiful background blur (bokeh) thanks to its wide f/1.8 aperture, which allows for excellent subject isolation and low-light performance. However, it does come with a trade-off — the lens produces noticeable focus noise while autofocusing. While this might not be a deal-breaker for photography, it’s less ideal for video work, where silent operation is crucial. So, while it can create great videos, I wouldn’t recommend it for video recording due to the noise. That said, for the price, it’s a fantastic lens for anyone looking to shoot sharp, vibrant portraits without breaking the bank. Overall, it’s a great value for the price and an excellent addition to any beginner or budget-conscious photographer’s kit.

It’s such a great lens for a beginner. The value of this lens is unmatched

I used Canon for 25 years, one day I tried a Sony camera (a7RIV) and never looked back, sold all my Canon gear and am now 100% dyed in the wool Sony. The Sony 50mm f1.8 is a little gem of a lens, light, sharp and inexpensive. What’s not to like …. 5 ⭐️ …. 10/10

I bought it a month ago together with my dream camera the sony A7IV. So far, I’m loving the lens and the quality that can produce on my work.

I bought the lens for landscape and portrait. Very happy with the outcome.

Lovely for portraits and learning to set up compositions with one view point.

This lens easily captures a group of +20 with limited space. When the aperture is open it makes for an easy edit to brighten up the scene. Very affordable and light weight!

Months ago I bought this lens & camera So happy that I did

I bought the lense and was supposed to receive it on a Wednesday; either SONY or the shipping company sent me the wrong item, but I never received the lense. I contacted customer support as soon as I got the incorrect package and was told that it would take approx. 2-3 days for customer support to review my case and send me a replacement. It has been ONE week, and I have only gotten a call stating that the review is in process, nothing more! I am out the $200; a replacement hasn't been sent. Customer support has taken their sweet time. Other companies would usually refund you instantly or send you a replacement asap. SONY doesn't.

I use this lens on my Sony a7R Mark II and I love it, it's a Full Frame Lens with a nice clarity that produces great pictures. At F1.8, this lens is capable of taking good images in low light conditions and also produces a lovely background blur when taking pictures at full aperture, especially on portraits. This lens is also great for video, it has a "low breath" when focusing, it's not fast, at least on my a7RII, but it will do the work, with almost zero out-of-focus images when doing a high fps shooting.

Glad i bought this due to lightweight and great depth of field achieve

Easy to use super sharp no problem at all amazing for car Photography

I use this lens mainly for interior shots, churches, cathedrals etc. the wide aperature is great and the definition is very good. Very pleased with my purchase.

I bought this over 8 months ago and had not become serious about shooting. I've since learned my camera and I'm an apsc shooter. So it shoots like a 75 mm. I love the clean beautiful look. I am big fan of sigma, but I love this lens.

Value for money lens to shoot and practice composition and practically shoot with your legs.

Bought this a month ago and really glad it becomes my prime lens. It is simple and practical for my ZVE1

Bought the 50mm as it as cheap and wanted to use it for portrait photography. Outstanding results given the price! Would highly recommend this lens, especially for beginners, it’s great for learning with.

Nice material finish and compact. Sizing is great for travellers

Very nice lense, luminous and sharp, also pretty lightweight

Ain't much, but it's an honest product, top quality

Absolute love this lens. You can never go wrong with a 50mm. So if you’re thinking about it just do it!!

Having recently bought a 35mm lense for things like street photography and landscape shots I felt that having a 50mm lense was needed.

All my Sony alpha gear amazes - pro sport photoggraher

Good prime lens, however the autofocus is very slow and noisy. Not recommended for video.

50mm 1.8 very eazy clean! easy to shoot for long & close range

Its one of the cheapest lens available for Sony cameras line up. I bought it to pair with a7ii and the lens struggled with AF-C while in video mode especially at wide-open apertures. At first it was a bummer for me but soon when paired with a7iii the game changed. Its AF-C capability was dramatically improved. Besides it does have a slightly softer image but that is ok and a lot can still be achieved for photographs in post. For the video I will recommend to shoot between f4-5.6, that is where i find the lens to deliver a shallow DOF while being able to counter focus breathing. Personally i like the lens as it is a value for what it costs. The built quality is fairly ok however its benefits exceeds its shorfalls.

It amazing. Good lens and good price reasonable. I will also upgrade to be 50 F1.2 GM asap.

Great lense at a great price. Super sharp images and an all round good lens for use with my Sony a6400. Love it!

That’s love from the first sight: bright, fast and clear

Great budget portrait lens with a fast aperture for nice bokehs.

good build quality at a reasonable price.Fast focus lens

I bought this lens after reading some very informative reviews. I like the small size, light weight n sharpness at a great price.

Cheap entry level prime. OK. But i need more, so have exchanged for the 55mm Zeiss lens. Much more expensive ! I suppose it depends on one's budget.

A a native Sony lens, for the price new, it performs very well when compared to more expensive others. Auto focus is more than adequate for day to day usage.
