Review: Shockingly Good for the price - A7rii - I have a confession. I am a bonafide pixel peeper. It’s a problem and I know it. Nothing gets me more excited about photography than to snap a picture and immediately review it, zoom it in 100% and see a sharp, clear image. I wouldn’t call it an obsession but the hunt for equipment that can deliver these type of results has cost me a lot of time and money. People always say to spend more $ on the glass and less $ on the body, well I tried that. I recently bought a Sony A6500 and instead of buying several cheap lenses I bought one really good one. The beloved SEL24F18z. Don’t get me wrong, that lens and body combo is really sweet but after trying it out for a few weeks I ended up returning both. The images were nice but zoomed in at 100% they weren’t $2300 nice. So I did some more research and decided to go in the opposite direction. Expensive body, cheap lens. For the same price of the A6500 and the Zeiss 24mm I got an A7rii (desertcart Warehouse used like new) and this “cheap” lens and I’m telling you the difference is night and day. I’ve never seen images this sharp. Every picture I take with this setup looks professional (which I’m definitely not). I was concerned that the high megapixel sensor would show this lens’ weaknesses but quite the contrary. I will say for optimum sharpness to keep it stopped down to at least f2.8. As with most lenses, wide open is pretty soft. Even the Zeiss 24 was soft at 1.8. Quick Tip: Update your camera body AND the lens As soon as I put this lens on and started using it I noticed some very sporadic focus hunting going on. It wouldn’t lock onto anything at all. The short time I had with the Zeiss 24 kind of got me spoiled with ridiculously fast auto focus. So I knew something was wrong. I plugged the camera into my computer and checked for updates. Both the body and lens were one version behind current. As soon as I updated them it was smooth sailing. Well smooth might be an overstatement. This lens is quirky. In good lightning it works perfectly. A little jerky but locks on. But in low light/low contrast it’s another story. It still hunts and is very hit or miss. For the price and image quality I’m willing to overlook poor low light focusing performance. Bottom Line. If you’re like me and scrounged up your last pennies to get the expensive body and are looking for a budget lens that has image quality over focus performance, this is it.
Review: Ol' Reliable - This is a great starter lens. As a beginner photographer (as I am) this is the perfect lens for me to take portraits with. The background blur and bokeh is really good for such a *cheap* lens. It also does pretty well in low light as seen in the first pic. I use the hood that comes with it almost constantly. I don't really like how the light comes in without it but I think that's just a personal preference. If I had other lenses I would definitely call this an ol' reliable. Even as my camera kit grows and my knowledge continues to expand, I can always see myself coming back to a 50mm 1.8. It just makes sense. An easy, lightweight, affordable lens that has great quality (I'm huge on quality) and blurs out the background to give you that nice crisp portrait effect? Of course, I will buy. Now cons: I will say that the autofocus is a tad bit slow. But, as I'm sure many other reviews have said, you get what you pay for. It's an affordable lens and you're getting pretty great quality. You might have to wait an extra second or two to get that thang focused but honey, once you do? I mean, you see the pics. I don't need to say more. Point is: beware of the shutter speed and the autofocus. If you're not taking your own pictures of yourself (like I am) then manual focus on your subject and you should be fine. Other than that this is a good lens. 10/10 highly recommend. Follow me on the gram for more usage of this lens lol @anaiahlateherr

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between this lens and the sony e 50mm f1.8 oss ?**
A: This supports the FE (full frame) cameras (A7x series), the E 50/1.8 OSS is for the APS-C crop bodies (NEX, A5xxx, A6xxx).  Both will mechanically mount and function on any E or FE body but the E 50mm will result in a cropped image on the full frame bodies.  The FE will work on any body without compromising the image - however the FE lens is a different design and has a different motor.  In my experience, it is noisier and slower to focus.  It should also be clear that the FE model doesn't include stabilization and relies on IBIS with the bodies which offer it.  I've owned both lenses so I know them well.  IMHO, the E 50/1.8 OSS is a better choice if you are using an APS-C body.

**Q: Has anyone compared this to the sonnar 55mm 1.8? i purchased this, i like the iq but it focus hunts often and af-c is no good with this lens.**
A: The 55mm is much higher quality lens all the way around. There's a reason for the price difference. Here is a comparison of the two. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eFL_w42SRwYeah, this lens tends to hunt for focus a bit in low light. I've never used AF-C.

**Q: I know this is designed for full-frame, but will it work with a Sony a6300 ?**
A: Yes, it will work and fit on the Sony a6300. Though, the framing will be a bit more zoomed in. Making it feel like you're using a 70mm to 85mm lens.

**Q: Will this work with a sony a200 camera?**
A: It is not compatible with the A200. The A200 uses and A mount lens. This lens is an E mount lens.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid prime lens with sharp results. A must in your arsenal.
*by T***E on September 20, 2019*

If you're reading this and you see it for under $250, get this lens! This nifty fifty is light and takes very sharp photos. The bokeh is creamy too for the price you pay. We all know Sony lenses can cost an arm and a leg, so this is a refreshing and relatively inexpensive lens to consider. It's known to be best for portraits, but you can still use it for a number of styles of photography. However, I will admit the autofocus sound is a bit buzzy, so it may not be ideal for video unless you're attaching a microphone to the camera or dubbing over the audio with music. I've had it for weeks now and this 50mm is one of the sharper lenses I've had the chance to use.
