Great lens for the price
This lens is great for portraits and it works well indoors in lower light situations. Its effective focal length of 75mm makes it a short telephoto lens, and one should be aware of that. I thought it might also be good for close in food photography, but it only works for that if you get up from the table or want to capture what the people at the table next to you are eating!

Great lens for the price
Straight to the point, this lens works great for portraits and close range landscape shots. The focusing works great and when im using my sony a6000 in manual mode, Im able to zoom in and get the exact point i want in focus rather easily. I would recommend this lens to the casual photographer and I would highly recommend choosing this lens of one of the kit options.

Takes beautiful photos
After doing a lot of research, I decided to forgo getting the kit lense and chose this as my first lense to be used mainly for taking product photos. I've loved it so far! Takes very professional looking photos! My only complaint is that I thought I would be able to be a little closer to my subject...I believe that is my own novice error and don't blame the lense!

Portrait lens
Nice short focal length lens for blurring the background of subjects (and foreground if you have foreground objects). Set the dial on your Sony A6300 to A then use the wheel to turn the F-stop down low, such as to 1.8. Youll have to back up your distance to the subject to get a shot as wide as with the stock A6300 lens. Cant argue with the price and free shipping.

Daily Driver
This is the lens that is on my camera most of the time. It's been a joy to use. As I'm new to shooting with this type of camera, the amazing photos I'm getting with this lens and camera combo might just be average to a pro. However, I have no qualms recommending this lens to someone upgrading from a point and shoot. With it we've taken photos we love to look at.

A Good Lens
The lens pairs well with the Sony 6000 line. Build quality is good for a lens at this price point. It focuses quickly and well, image quality is good, and users should be pleased with the output. There is little to complain about the lens, and while it is not in the same category of G lens, it is well worth the money for Sony's limited APS-C sensor offerings.

sharp and clean images
I bought this mainly as a portrait lens. A little too zoomed for me, when buying it I forgot 50mm in a cropped sensor means 75mm, but does the job of bringing nice and sharp images. Only complain is the auto focus feature is not as fast as shown in youtube videos or reviews. I took pics in a marathon and in a burst of 10 pics, about 2 were in focus (average).

Great little portrait lens!
This little guy packs a punch without punching the purse. It offers you great low light capability and good Bokeh for portraiture. The image quality is slightly crisper than my SELP 18-105mm, and overall it's just a good lens if your starting up a senior portrait or simply need something to take some of your images to the next level this is the lens for you.

The CREAMIEST lens!!
My GOD this lens is GOOD!! That was my first impression. For its price, I don't think you can find a better lens for the Sony A Series. The bokeh is creamy as butter and the image quality is splendid. I've used it for a couple of portrait shots and it's the best I've ever used!! Best decision I've made when it comes to lens. BUY IT!! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!

Great lens
Great lens. I bought this mostly for run and gun video on a gimbal so I'll speak to it from that stand point. It's a great inexpensive fast lens that focuses well and is sharp. I usually have it at f4 or f1.8 (if I'm in low light). The OSS still helps even on a hand-held gimbal. This was my second prime for the Sony alpha series (first was a 19mm Sigma).

Amazing lens for the money
This lens looks great, feels great, and performs great. I love the shallow depth of field as well as the large aperture that allows for gracefully soft backgrounds and very sharp/crisp focal points...even in low light! If you have a Sony A5000 or other e-mount, you should really have this lens as well. It's incredibly affordable for it's performance.

Stellar image quality
I use this lens with a NEX-6 for walk-around urban photography. It has the best IQ of any lens I've used on the NEX-6---significantly sharper than any of the standard Sony zooms. However, I have not compared it with the Zeiss primes, which cost far more. It has stabilization and silent focusing, and is solidly built, considering the modest weight.

Love it more I use it...
Just starting to expand my lens collection with my a6300 and this was the perfect starting point. When it arrived, I tested the lens through the aperture range down to f8 and the sharpness exceeds the kit zoom (as expected) in all cases - especially at the corners. In practice, it takes lovely portrait shots and is perfect for family photos.

Wonderful prime lens!
This is a great and affordable lens for any of your Sony cameras. I've got in on an A7S that I used for wedding video and it works like a charm. Snappy AF and allows all of the bells and whistles of the Sony cameras shine, especially for video. The only learning curve if you're coming from Canon/Nikon is the fly-by-wire manual focusing.

Great Lens
This lens is used with my Sony a6500. The actual focal length on the a6500 is 75mm. Using the in camera zoom it's 75mm - 150mm. It has OSS that works with the camera's sensor OSS and together they work really good. It's as sharp as any lens in my bag. It's light, it's small, it seems to me to be a quality build. This lens is a keeper.

Great Image quality but slow AF.
Used it on my Sony Nex 5N. Great image quality. At f1.8 is a little soft, but much better at f2.8 and beyond. Just wish that the auto-focus system was faster. The NEX E-mount 18-55mm is faster, but the quality of the 50mm f1.8 is sooo much better. The 50mm f1.8lens is on my NEX-5N 90% of the time. It's a must have for Sony NEX user.

Very impressed
I have only had a few opportunities to use this new lens, but so far the images are outstanding. I am very impressed with the quality. I debated on whether to buy this or the much more expensive Carl Zeiss. I'm not a professional so I couldn't justify spending that. I'm in love with my Sony A6000 and this lens compliments it nicely!

Nice Lens
I just took this lens on vacation to the East coast (Boston/New York). I found the results of the lens fantastic, with great contrast and great bokeh. The 50mm fov is tricky, particularly if using it as a walk around lens. I found I had to switch lenses more than I would have liked. A must own lens if you have a NEX.

Sony Alpha series portrait lens
Bought this to add a portrait lens for my recent purchase of a Sony Alpha 6000. Given the selection of portrait lenses for the Sony E-mount, this seemed to be the safe bet, considering my camera is new to me, also. This lens takes really nice pictures, with enough bokeh to impress. You can't go wrong with this lens.

Great Portrait Lens. Love it!
My first prime/portrait lens. Picture images and video images look sharp and professional like. Played with it capturing images and was overall very impressed. The lens is a little bit slow to focus but not a deal breaker for me. The order came with a lens hood which is a plus. Hope you find this useful. Thanks.

Love it
I'm new to Sony and mirrorless cameras. I bought the Sony Alpha a6000 and this lens on Black Friday and it's one of the best camera choices I've made. I use this lens the most out of my three for it (a kit, and telephoto). This takes great portraits and low light photos with the wide aperture. I recommend this.

Sharp, fast lens - very happy
I've been very happy with this lens. It's quite sharp, and the overall image quality is great. The OSS is effective; I have been getting some great street shots at night, hand-held, with minimal ISO-raising. This has quickly become my go-to lens. It stays on my camera when it's in the bag in at-the-ready mode.

Sony E 50 mm F 1.8
This lens is excellent. Photos tack sharp did not notice any vignetting on the edges. It is lightweight and combined with the A6400 makes a great walk around camera. I have also used it on my A7RII and it works flawlessly on that camera. Well made and solid. Would and have told friends how good I feel it is.

The first must have prime lens
For those who has standard lens, this is the bright and sharp lens which worth every penny. This lens is very useful for portrait shooting and indoor video. Optical stabilisation is so good that I was able to shoot clear handheld images with 1/10sec shutter speed. Auto-focus is quick without any motor sound.
