Pros:
  • Wide aperture., Optical stabilization., Crisp optics., Minimal distortion., Compact., Affordable.
Cons:
  • Dim corners., Omits weather sealing., Electronic manual focus.

Better than expected

I took my time before purchasing this lens, as although I wanted a fast aperture, prime standard lens I was initially put off by some negative reviews out there. There's not too many native options for full frame on Sony cameras without spending silly money.

Bad copy

Bad copy, would not focus consistently. Knew these were prone to hunt and search as well as noisy but this one didn't want to find true focus. Returned.

New Sony FE 50mm F1.8 Lens review

The Sony 50mm FE retails for $250 and can regularly be found with Sony rebates for $200. The plastic build is about what you would expect at this price point, but the optics and image quality has shown me that this lens can punch above it’s weight when called upon.

Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 Review

Most camera marques now have an inexpensive 50mm lens in their ranges. These are often described as "nifty fifties" or "plastic fantastics", the implication being that they are cheap and cheerful, but often superb performers as well.
Pros:
  • Excellent central sharpness
  • Low central CA
  • Very easy to use effectively
  • Direct manual focus feature
  • No flare issues
Cons:
  • AF slow
  • Visible edge CA
  • Fairly soft edges

Good value for the price!

I bought this lens a couple months ago and i happy with it because I'm using it for product pictures with static scenes. The only complaint i have is the focus delay.. Its just to much to take picures like in a weeding or for people that need a rapid response on their photo.

Sony E 50mm f/1.8 OSS (SEL-50F18) - Review / Lens Test

The Sony E 50mm f/1.8 OSS is a more than welcome addition to the (rather slim) Sony NEX lens lineup. Technically it is not without flaws. It delivers a very sharp center performance but the corners/borders are soft at large apertures. However, considering the typical applications (e.g.

Good build quality with great low light capability and priced low

Low price, high quality bokkeh, great low light, optically stabilized, shipped fast and feels well built. Fast auto focus works well on my Sony A5100 and A6500 cameras. Take a bit getting used to having to stand back a bit more than the 35mm f1.8 sony but otherwise takes excellent portrait shots...

NEX essential

I read reviews explaining this was a great lens, but I was now prepared for how great. I've had it for 4 months, and it is a dream to work with. The images look great even wide open, and I love the bokeh effect.
Pros:
  • Image Quality
  • Build
  • Steady Shot
Cons:
  • no focus distance indicator
