So far so good
I bought this lens along with an a6000 body for a trip to Europe so will have more thoughts after that. But so far, it seems to produce sharp images with good color. The attached photo was taken in diffuse late afternoon light in aperture priority at f4. No complaints.

Excellent!
Great lens for the price. Depth of field at 1.8f is a blade, bokeh effect is spectacular. I bought it while on vacation in NYC and I used it quite extensively. Great for portraits, it's the equivalent of a 75mm full frame. Extremely happy with the purchase.

Makes the Nex-7 shine
Use this lens almost exclusively for now. Bought Nex-7 with kit lens but found too much noise in low light and in darker ares of most shots. With this lens I now have shots worthy of blow ups and framing. Great for portraits and pretty much everything.

Excellent lens
This lense takes such clear photos its unreal. The only problem i have is that since its 50mm i have to be kinda far away to get a good picture of someone. But other than that its great. The autofocus is fast as lightning i couldnt be happier with it

Excellant Lens
I bought this prime lens in order to have a high resolution portrait lens. Photos are noticeably sharper than than with the kit zoom lens. I will make some definitive measurements in the future. I'm quite pleased with the performance of this lens.

It is the best
I own sony a6000 with kit lens. I also have 55-210 lnes , 35mm 1.8 lens and 30mm macro lens. I want a sharp portrait lens, so I bought this lens, I love the bokeh of this lens, in my openion this is sharper than 35mm 1.8 lens, I love it so much.

A must have
I read pretty much every single review on this, if you have an a6000 or a6300. This lens is a must have for this camera, also the price just drop to 248 which was a major plus for me to get. Lens is really sharp and that oss helps out alot too

Good value
Not expecting too much from a lens of this price, that's how I started. But results are amazing. This very bright lens is - even completely open - sharp into the edges and autofocus is very fast. Perfect for street photography and portraits...

My new carry around lens.
I am extremely pleased with the quality and performance of the E 50mm f/1.8 OSS lens. IQ is awesome! I have it mounted on my a6000. No focusing problems and I have not noticed any CA or vignetting. I would by this glass again in a heartbeat.

Quality Lens
Sharp image. Wide open it is a bit soft in the corners but overall shows off my nex7.Solid build.IS works.Sometimes focus is an issue - focus is not on my target - on something else that is close.Not perfect but a good lens at a good price.

Nice shutter speed and sharpness.
Nice picture quality for the price. Way faster indoor continuous picture mode. Sometimes you need to backup when taking pictures of things close to you to get it in the frame. I bought it for a Sony a6000 to take indoor shots primarily.

Should be the first lens you get
For the money you should have this lens. I'm not a pro, but gosh you can take some really sharp pictures. The 35mm is another option if you have a little more money in the wallet, but this is a great place to start to build excitement.

Great portrait lens
I use this lens strictly for portraits and it is excellent. I tested it out last week in very low lighting and it blew me away! I was thrilled with the quality I was able to capture with such low light. It's also lightweight and fast.

Solid lens for the price
While there are better 50mm lenses out there, its tough to beat this one's value. Has good bokeh and a decently fast autofocus. Great for anyone looking for this focal length but not willing to spend the cash on a Zeiss or Sigma Art.

Easy Recommendation - Get it!
Using this on my A6500, and it's pretty much impossible not to love. Small, light, very affordable, sharp, snappy focus, great build quality, decent OSS. If you are only going to buy one prime and you do portraits, this is your lens.

AMAZING LENS
I absolutely am blow away at the images I get from this lens. I have 2 VG10's and a VG20 and they with this lens makes great cinematic video. The depth of field is just incredible. Worth every penny and I just ordered a second one!

Fantastic lens for portraits
I am a photo enthusiast that recently purchased Sony's practical and affordable a6000. This fantastic lens produces sharp images. My only critique so far is that the AF hunts. A lot. I've only used the kit lens, which never hunted.

Great quality
This lens is incredibly sharp with minimal vignetting, distortion, etc. It is an excellent addition to my bag, especially for how little room it requires, not to mention the VERY reasonable price tag. I am very happy with it.

Great lens
Only use this now! Large, fast aperture and great bokeh! Can really take some pro looking shots with this lens! The 75mm equiv takes a little getting used to but after a day it's no problem! Highly recommend to any nex user

bright lens
I use this with my Sony VG20. A nice and bright lens, easy to do manual focus with the large focus ring. The shallow depth of view really make a difference for dramatic effects. Also nice to be used in low light condition.

Very Impressive!
I bought this lens to use with my NEX-5n and was impressed from the start. This lens will generate excelent bokeh on cose-up's and portraits, and is also as good for ladscapes. My favorite use is for my daughter and cats.

Worth purchasing
Find myself using this lens more and more often instead of the lents that came with my camera bundle. I've had no issues with image quality, and am overall very pleased with my purchase. Fantastic lens for a fair price.

This lens provides a sharp photo.
I have used this lens for portraits and it is very sharp. Even though it is a F/1.8 and not a F/1.2 it still provides a very clean picture inside and out. I am trilled that I bought this lens especially for the price.

Worth buying and good value for money
Beautiful aperture, amazing actually , for portrait use it is the best lens so far for NEX, only problem is slow AF mode in video and am using NEX-7 so its not that big issue, I highly recommend it for any NEX users
