  1. M. OROURKE

    Massive improvement on the stock zoom lenses

  2. Mr. K. Wrebel

    Super high quality lens for my Sony a6000…before buying check out the 1.8 35mm…it is nearer the actual 50 mm ….and gives a general wider angle…however the 50mms is a great lens..

    I have the wide angle and zoom E-mount lenses. This lens being a 50mm prime is harder to use in terms of distance from subject but the resulting pictures are brilliant! A superb lens for portrait photography on a fairly low-priced camera.Not just for portaits mind, experiment out and about with it in many situations and it will improve your photography skills.A great addition to the bag especially for family birthdays, weddings, etc.Seems to capture a perfect balance between sharp detail and softness.

    Very nifty. Prefect for any detail shots you may want to take. (for the newbies) Dont think this is a macro lens. You will need to give yourself some room to photograph your subject. This lens should be close to an equivalent of 85mm full frame.Best lens in my arsenal. I take it everywhere. And I’ve always been surprised how often I reach for it. Can be a very fun lens to use. For the money it’s flawless.

    I don’t usually give 5 stars in these reviews, but this lens has almost made my old Nex 3 feel like a new camera.For taking pictures of people it is head-and-shoulders above all the other NEX lenses I’ve tried (this one is my fourth lens). Essentially, the f1.8 aperture lets in so much light that (together with the image stabilisation) the camera can use _far_ quicker shutter speeds to get any given shot, which means much less blur and, in practice, lovely sharp pictures. The f1.8 aperture also beautifully de-focuses the background of shots, making for simpler compositions which emphasise the main subjects in the frame. Also, unlike many fast primes, this one is pin sharp right down to F1.8.Of course the 75mm-equivalent focal length makes this something of a single-purpose lens, but don’t let that put you off – it’s a purpose which most people will be needing a lot, and there’s nothing wrong with doing one thing well. Here’s a real-life example:Last year I went to a wedding. A lovely occasion, but the ceremony was indoors and it was a dull grey day. I used the stock zoom lens that came with the Nex (the 18-55mm one) and for the whole day none of my pictures came out; they were all blurry because people moved too fast and I couldn’t respond in time to catch fleeting moments, and that was because the zoom lens can only do about f5 at its 55mm zoom end, and in any case it isn’t very sharp at that focal length.Then, last weekend, we celebrated the Christening of my little son. A lovely occasion, but the ceremony was indoors and it was a dull grey day. I used this lens, and every single one of my photos came out perfectly – beautifully. No need for flash, no need for high ISO. I was even happy setting the camera to default automatic settings and letting my friends take pictures for me, because I trusted the lens to get a good picture. I have never been able to do that before!One thing I have found is that I need to take one step further backward than I’m used to, because the lens can’t focus close-up. You need to be a few feet away from your subject.In every other respect this is the best money I’ve invested in photography since buying the camera. I was nervous about buying because this is more expensive than the entry-level lenses in the Nex range. It turns out that there’s is a very good reason for the difference – it simply has a much better ‘sucess rate’ in getting the right photo first time than any other lens I’ve used; it complements the money I originally invested in the Nex camera and adds a different dimension it didn’t have before.

    Late but still awesome!!

  7. b no weak

    This lens is awesome!! Arrived a little later than expected but was worth the wait and arrived before I went on holiday. I am a hobby photographer and this lens has worked wonders for me to learn a little bit more about portrait photography which is what I use this lens for 🙂 recommend this lens to other hobbyists maybe even professionals

    Nifty fifty?

    This lens Exceeded my expectations. Focus is relatively fast and very accurate. The quality of pictures taken is superb. At f1.8 there is no vignetting, or blurring at the edges. Keep in mind this lens has quite a narrow field of view, perfect for portraits, not so good for close ups, except for small objects, I found it amazing for taking shots of plants and flowers. I haven’t really used it for video.
