Works great with A7. For the price, you can’t beat it.Before you whine about the performance, put the current firmware on both your camera and lens (as of this writing, that would be 3.20 and .2 respectively), and then go into the settings and enable Phase Detect.AF is fast up to F4, after that the camera needs more time to hunt. For someone like me coming from a Canon 40 2.8 STM w/Commlite adapter, this is not a big deal, and is still way faster than any adapted lens.Corners are soft and hazy wide-open. In any case, 99.9% of the time your audience is going to marvel at how blurred the background is, while the other .1% is measuring the bokeh balls with a caliper for uniformity. Who cares? It’s a portrait lens, for crying out loud. Stop-down if it bothers you. Beyond F5.6, this lens is sharp as nails and produces landscape scenes with stunning detail.This lens is light-weight. I can see myself traveling with just this lens.It’s a 50mm lens, it produces beautiful images on the A7, and most importantly, it doesn’t cost half the price of the A7. Believe me, nobody is going to look at your image shot with this lens and say , “Aha! You didn’t shoot this with the $900 Zeiss!”.

I don’t use it for blogging, so the sound that makes when autofocus doesn’t bother me at all. Great cheap full frame lens

Sony makes a lot of nifty 50s, but this is the only one that you can buy for the price of lunch at Trio. On my aps-C Alpha camera it works as a 75 mm, which is great for portraits. It’s noisy but I’ve gotten some wonderful videos from it using separate mics. Many of the Alpha cameras come with pretty limited “kit” zoom lenses, but this would be a better choice for a basic lens for most people. I recommend it highly; it’s the lens most people should start with unless they can afford the 50 mm 1.2 GM, which is truly better but costs about 10 times as much, and for only about 10% better performance overall.

Love this lens. Bought it to take pictures of the grandkids over Christmas. I am a landscape photographer, but for the price this is a great lens. Plus is super lightweight and very compact on my Sony a7rii.

Great performance for a native lens for Sony’s full frame E-mounts. I use this mostly for my portrait photography sessions with my models, friends and also promoting products if I don’t need a macro lens for it.Pros:- Great price point for beginners portrait photography- Wide aperture for a good shallow depth at F/1.8- Sharp quality and sustains details- Fast and native lens- AF helps a lot on this and its quickCons:- Feels like high quality plastic and some metal

It’s very simple but very effective lens. I think every photographer has to have one. Good picture quality, great Sony auto focus and very affordable price

Up until now I had been using variable zoom lenses. When I upgraded to a new camera I decided to try primes. Was recommended 50 prime and found this for a decent price. Being my first prime, it took some time getting used to. I had to setup further back than usual and had to take into consideration my background. But once I figured it out, what a huge difference. I never really had much success at night with crisp images but not anymore. The light flares beautifully, every detail is captured and enhanced! I actually prefer to shoot at night now. I haven’t had much of a chance to use it for landscape and panoramas but I’m liking what I’ve seen so far! Even when shooting at F1.8 you still get a tremendous amount of focus (when paired with my A6500). Overall there are no cons so far for me with this lens. Can’t wait to try another prime sometime down the line.Camera used – Sony A6500

I bought a bunch of cheap-o lenses – Samyang, Opteka, Rokinon, etc., and after i bought this sony, I haven’t taken those others out. This is so much better quality, I can’t bring myself to shoot with the cheapies! So now I have to spend thousands of dollars replacing all my lenses with good lenses like this. Great. :)
