new FE 55mm F1.8 for my A7
I got A7 with kit lens from HK, the kit lens is average, I use mainly for video. Sonnar T FE 55 mm is my first prime lens for my A7, it's light, handy and responsive. The image is sharp. Before FE 55mm, I used nikon 50.1.4, The FE55mm is sharper than Nikon 50mm,

A lens you should always carry with you.
This is my go to lens for wedding photography and videography, It is a very versatile prime lens. if you are after a lens that can give you a beautiful bokeh at an affordable price, this is the lens for you. Zeiss and Sony exceeded my expectations with this one.

My first Sony Lens worked perfectly
I purchased the Sony A7 III with this lens. It was a perfect match. My intention was to use it during a trip and I was looking for a light equipment with good results. The results were wonderful for my taste, as good as (or even better) my Nikon D750.

SHARP, SMOOTH, STURDY, SIMPLY THE BEST.
I use this lens mostly for portraits on a Sony A7 and let me tell you, IT IS SO worth the $$. Pros:-crazy sharp-smooth bokeh-very smooth, quiet autofocus-looks Cons:-your friends will be jealous -a bit of chromatic aberration, nothing too bad though

Got this as an open box and it works perfectly.
I did a lot of research on this lens and my experience with it since purchasing it has matched all the great reviews it has. I also bought this as an open box, which worried me but it was in perfect working order. I've very happy with my purchase.

Wise Purchase
This lens is my go-to lens for our indoor baby photography. The lens at f/1.8 produces a very good and smooth bokeh effect while showing nice sharpness on the primary subject. No more need for flash photography for most settings with my Sony a7.

Crazy sharp!
I've had the vivitar 28-90 f2.8 manual lens with my A7 for 6 months. I thought that lens was ok for my hobby needs. But when I got my 55mm, I was blown away with how sharp f1.8 was. Stop down to f4 to f8 and it will produce killer sharp images.

A must have great lens
This is the lens I take with me at all times, I have even dropped in water and it still worked, ( Not suggested). It is very sharp and controls flares well. The size is not as small as I would like but its not a big lens. So it travels well.

One of the sharpest lenses out therer
Small, light and sharp. Works well with A7ii gaining features not available on canon adapted lenses (manual focus auto image magnification and much faster focus). Nice Zeiss construction with more metal/plastic ratio than std Sony lenses.

Absolutely Beautiful
This was the first lens I purchased alongside my new Sony A7ii. If I could use this lens for every shot I would. Simply put, the image quality is amazing. Sharpness is unmatched. The bokeh is gorgeous and smooth. By far my favorite lens.

Awesome lens!
This lens is a superb lens to walk about on my Sony A7. Sharp, sharp, sharp. The bokeh is delicious, creamy, buttery. It is light weight and compact. There are times I forgot there was a camera on my neck, and thought it was left behind.

Small but mighty!
Great for landscapes, portraits and a general walk around lens! If you only get one Sony lens make it this one!! The photos are very sharp and full of contrast with attention to detail! This lens is wonderful for traveling, very light!!

My Everyday Lens
I love this lens. It is super sharp and colors come out very nice compared to the 50mm 1.4G Nikon I used to have. It is super light and easy to carry while mounted on my Sony a7ii. This is a must have lens for anyone with a Sony camera.

Not a pixel peeper
I have the Sony G Master 85mm and I love it ! I needed something for tighter spaces when I just cant back up anymore and was f 1.8 . The 55 mm seems to be sharp from edge to edge ,fast and very light weight. It was a great choice !

Great image quality
Great 50-ish mm lens. It is sharp, relatively lightweight and a great all-around lens for a focal length similar to human visual perspective. Thank you for making this lens for the Sony Full Frame E-mount Cameras! I have an A7R2.

Very nice standard prime lens
Sharp on the center. Although visible CA appears on a repeated basis, nothing lightroom cant fix. The size is compact and the build quality is exceptional. The facade of the lens is gorgeous. Favorite standard prime lens for me.

Incredibly sharp
I bought this lens and a a7r2 and all I can say is wow. Sharp, fast, and beautiful. Autofocus is also very fast and accurate. Eye af and this lens has produced some incredible portraits. Very happy with this combo it's a keeper.

Sharp and rich in colour.
I had to sit down after I spent the money, but boy am I ever glad I did. Sharp, sharp, SHARP! The colour and bokeh is so delicious. I never get a photo that I DON'T like with this lens. German optics are the bomb dot com, y'all.

overall good lense
Very sharp and fast lens. Works great with my a7rii. My only complaint is the flaring. It seems to flare way more than my canon lenses. Not only that but the flaring doesn't look as good as the flaring on the canon lense either

Wow!
Switched over from Nikon to Sony, first lens I wanted was the Sony 55mm 1.8. Expensive for a 1.8 nifty fifty but great size, pretty small and light, which was the whole point of going to Sony. This lens lives up to the hype!

Beutiful color rendition
I have Zeiss 24 1.8 for my nex 7 that I loved dearly. Now that I have A7, I decided to get this one. I wasn't disappointed by this lens. The pictures are tact sharp. It looks like a 3d sometimes. This lens is a true keeper.

Perfectly compliments my A7R
I never thought there would be another lense that could replace my canon 50mm 1.2L. Sharpen even at f1.8. Love the classic Zeiss design with black metal construction, a buttery smooth focus ring, and great optical results.

Light weight and SHARP
I had forgotten what a pleasure it is to shoot with a sharp prime of this focal length. On a A7Riii, it is also balances well and the results are stunning. If you don't need the speed of a 1.4, this is a lot less bulky...
