After a month of using, so far, autofocus is responsive enough great for stills. When recording videos, picture quality is really good but whenever it autofocuses, it makes a noise that can be heard when you record videos.

Hinta ja laatusuhde on kyllä kohdallaan tässä. Suosittelen

Lovely light weight lens, works well, clear images, sharp focus, f/1.8 is fast.

Focus motor is slow but for the price its very good.

This is a great budget priced lens with an amazing angle of view, 50mm is close to the way the human eye views and people see things in life. It's a great lens for taking day to day snaps or movie work and other types of photography. This could be used for street photography, portraits and movie work.

Fantastic back up lens. Very affordable and does the job. Even better with the discounted price...great vfm

The Sony FE 50mm F1.8 is arguably the best budget lens at this price point for Sony full-frame cameras. It delivers great portrait photos with beautiful background blur (bokeh) thanks to its wide f/1.8 aperture, which allows for excellent subject isolation and low-light performance.

However, it does come with a trade-off — the lens produces noticeable focus noise while autofocusing. While this might not be a deal-breaker for photography, it’s less ideal for video work, where silent operation is crucial. So, while it can create great videos, I wouldn’t recommend it for video recording due to the noise.

That said, for the price, it’s a fantastic lens for anyone looking to shoot sharp, vibrant portraits without breaking the bank. Overall, it’s a great value for the price and an excellent addition to any beginner or budget-conscious photographer’s kit.

Kuvaan pääasiassa videomateriaalia Sony FX30 -kameralla, mutta toisinaan on mukava ottaa muutama still-kuva kuvaustilanteesta. Ostin tämän objektiivin lähinnä pro-harrastajan näkökulmasta, ja se onkin osoittautunut käteväksi, kun päähenkilöstä on tarpeen tallentaa muutama still-kuva videon ohella. Objektiivin suuri f/1.8-aukko APS-C-kennolla tuottaa kauniin sumean taustan ja lyhyen syväterävyyden.

Tämä linssi ei kuitenkaan sovellu parhaiten videotyöhön, sillä siinä ilmenee melko voimakasta focus breathing -ilmiötä, joka häiritsee jatkuvalla automaattitarkennuksella kuvattaessa. Muuhun käyttöön voin kuitenkin suositella sitä lämpimästi.

I bought this two weeks ago, and I am happy with the performance of this little lens!

I used Canon for 25 years, one day I tried a Sony camera (a7RIV) and never looked back, sold all my Canon gear and am now 100% dyed in the wool Sony. The Sony 50mm f1.8 is a little gem of a lens, light, sharp and inexpensive. What’s not to like …. 5 ⭐️ …. 10/10

I bought the lens for landscape and portrait. Very happy with the outcome.

• Autofocus: The SAM technology provides smooth and relatively fast autofocus performance in both photo and video.

The Sony DT 50mm f/1.8 SAM is a solid choice for photographers looking for a budget-friendly prime lens with a wide aperture. Its performance, especially in low-light conditions, makes it a valuable addition to any APS-C DSLR kit. This lens offers excellent value for money and is a great way to explore the creative possibilities of a fixed focal length lens.

Lovely for portraits and learning to set up compositions with one view point.

Easy to use super sharp no problem at all amazing for car Photography

I use this lens mainly for interior shots, churches, cathedrals etc. the wide aperature is great and the definition is very good. Very pleased with my purchase.

People go on and on about “if you don’t need to shoot sports this is a hidden gem”. Don’t believe them. This is the actual worst first party lens I’ve ever used.

Not only is the autofocus non functional (as in it hints on a static object, like a building, in full daylight) but when it does “lock” it’s wrong. I took 35 autofocus photos. Not one was in focus. You may say.. wait a building, trust me I tried everything including half a building with a blue sky behind it. For those long time experienced Sony users. My original rx-1 focuses at least three times faster than this lens on an a7iv.

So fortunately I also decided to test sharpness. So I set it to f11 and focused about a a third if the way into a scene inside the DOF - awful. I focused directly on a few objects, awful.

It’s less sharp than a 2010 nex kit lens.

It hunts in broad daylight, it locks out of focus on a building even, it’s cheaply built, it’s not sharp, no weather sealing, bad manual focus feel, there is nothing redeeming.

Again, and I really can’t stress this enough, it’s the actual worst first party lens I’ve ever owned across 5 major camera brands. Don’t buy it.

Mom shocked they’re still putting this out there, it’s an absolute stain on their reputation. Everyone has a nifty fifty. None of them are this bad.

Let’s see if Sony accepts this review.

Overall a good low cost prime, your classic nifty fifty. Everything put together while for the price but would have liked a pouch to keep it in that you get with other manufactures like Viltrox 20mm. Biggest issue is motor noise, its loud and audible on video

using this lens already 2 years. I like it! It came with the version 1 firmware and the focus motor was extremly loud. but after updated to the ver. 3 the motor went bit quiter. Still loud but for photography its okey. otherwise only few time its fail to find the focus.

Bought the 50mm as it as cheap and wanted to use it for portrait photography. Outstanding results given the price! Would highly recommend this lens, especially for beginners, it’s great for learning with.

Nice material finish and compact. Sizing is great for travellers

Very nice lense, luminous and sharp, also pretty lightweight

I needed a simple 50mm for street photography, had to be lightweight, and compact but have a reasonably fast aperture.

Didn't want to break the bank so this little nifty fifty was a great buy. It has drawbacks 100%, it's not the fastest AF in the world, it's not the sharpest tool in the box, and it's a little noisy but it's a workhorse!

It's very light, the 1.8 aperture gives a beautifully soft background, and its sharpness is not that bad, especially for social media.

If you want a reliable, fast, cheap Sony branded Prime lens, you simply can't get better.

I am very happy that I owned this lense. It is very affordable and great lense for portrait photography. I really enjoy capturing photos with this.

This lens is small, light & fast (f1.8) and with a Sony a64000 focuses quickly. Price is average for a prime lens at this level, quality seems good so far...

I brought this lens a couple of weeks ago to mainly use for automotive photography (shows) works great, great image quality.

Only negative would be it has struggled sometimes with focusing where I want it to focus but not all the time, not a deal breaker for th money.
