Pros: Sharpness, rendering and colors, construction, light and compact, bokeh, brightness, 9-blade diaphragm, star effect and price

Cons: Lack of stabilization, chromatic aberrations, AF uncertainty, focusing noise in single AF.

Opinion: I had been wanting a fixed with this focal length for a long time but I had always oriented myself on the Sony 35mm 1.8 for FF, discarding the other Sony 35 for APS-C. Then a few months ago I looked at this lens, which was not considered initially because for APSC... After reading and looking at some reviews on the internet I decided to buy. I can say that I am fully satisfied with it. I'm more of a landscape photographer, I go a lot in the mountains and therefore in my opinion a zoom remains essential, especially during long excursions to avoid continuous lens changes, but this lens, for the price it has (combined with the quality and photographic performance) must absolutely be present in the Sony APSC kit. Perfect for portraits and street, I used it during trekking and even here it did not disappoint me. At full opening it is very sharp in the center, a little less at the edges, but really something imperceptible (at least on my sample, I read some less enthusiastic reviews). Excellent bokeh, colors and the general quality of the files it returns. By closing the diaphragm you can also create backlights with a nice star effect. The build quality is good, considering it doesn't belong to the Art series (Sigma's top), it's light and compact – attached to my a6300 it fits in my jacket pocket. Let's get to the cons: I included the lack of stabilization for objectivity, but it is something that you know in principle when you buy it (which can be remedied with the most recent camera bodies equipped with a stabilized sensor, for all the others freehand just take advantage of the aperture or raise the iso a little). Chromatic aberrations are noticeable, but they are corrected well in the car or in the post. The AF uncertainty occurred in single focus, where – at full aperture – changing the focus, the lens struggles or rather is not immediate in focusing and the AF motors make a lot of noise. Closing the aperture the situation improves quite a bit, but I found the real solution by setting the AF to CONTINUOUS. Here, at any aperture, the focus is really very good but at full aperture (given the very shallow depth of field), to have maximum precision, I recommend selecting the focus area on "flexible spot". Manual focus is fast and accurate. I conclude by saying that the lens has character, going out and shooting with it is a lot of fun, allowing you to take home shots that will leave you satisfied. Furthermore, given the quality and yield it offers and the price at which it is sold (I found it on offer around € 280) it is a best buy, not only for those who have a Sony APS-C, but also Canon R or Nikon Z.

Pros: Sharpness, nice boken is good compact and lightweight construction

Cons: Somewhat anomalous focal length on micro four thirds equivalent to 60 mm

Opinion: Purchased to replace my 45mm 1.8 Olympus is kept for a week but unfortunately not satisfied. After several tests comparisons with my 45 mm I decided to give it back because it didn't make much sense and that focal length for me is a bit anomalous, that is for me who already owns the 20 mm 1.7 and the 45mm 1.8, for those who do not own any of these lenses it could be the turning point since it has a very pleasant boken, Impressive sharpness and very beautiful and contrasted colors by compromising the focal distance of 60 mm equivalent on micro four thirds.

Pros: Quality, price, F1.4

Cons: Some uncertainty af

Opinion: I use it mostly for portraiture and I was fully satisfied especially based on how much it costs. Every now and then I have some af problems when there starts to be less light. Not razor-sharp at 1.4 but acceptable, from 2.8 onwards very.good. Used sometimes for landscape and night photos. At optimal apertures 5.6/8 is well worth the expense..... indeed!!!

Pros: Size, Materials, Weight, Color Rendering, Bokeh, Price, Aperture

Cons: Chromatic Aberrations, AutoFocus, Sharpness, Flare

Opinion: A product with an excellent quality/price ratio. For those who have the right pretensions it is an excellent product. On APSC it is a good focal length for portraits and also landscape (genres I use it for). It is not very sharp, the edges are a bit soft especially at full aperture where the drop in sharpness is perceived a lot and improves optimally at f / 2.8. The Bokeh is very enjoyable. It creates chromatic aberrations, which are however correctable and not too excessive. I found the flares annoying and sometimes intrusive. In fact, not suitable for backlighting or near intense light sources. All the defects, however, are also justified for the very competitive price. The autofocus is not the best, it is still a lens of 7 years ago. If you use it at apertures higher than f / 2.8 the photos it produces are pleasant from the point of view of sharpness and colors. To carry around is comfortable and versatile, thanks to the size, weight and angle of view that corresponds to a 45mm on FF.

Pros: Sharpness, brightness (f1.4), flare resistance, bokeh, solid construction, fluidity focus ring, price used.

Cons: Uncertain AF with low light, hood, weight.

Opinion: One of the lenses that gave me the greatest satisfaction (also based on the quality / price ratio). Used on Sony A6000 was the first fixed lens I bought (used); I was immediately amazed by its sharpness that is very good already at F1.4 and improves up to F.11; Flare practically absent (of course if you push the lens to the limit by photographing against the light does not work miracles), focus ring with the right softness that allows a precise manual MF. If you want a fixed bright with equivalent focal length of about 50mm this is definitely the right lens, also the price of 'used is very advantageous because there are excellent opportunities around € 200 and with this figure you will have a lady lens for amateur use (perhaps even semi-professional) that will give you a lot of satisfaction. The only negative notes I found concern the uncertainty of the autofocus in low light conditions (where I advise you to use manual focus in addition to a tripod), in fact if you try to focus automatically with little light the lens takes a long time to hook the subject (sometimes it does not even hook it), problem that disappears in normal light conditions where the lens becomes fast and precise. Another negative note concerns the plastic hood very "cheap", it comes off very easily and if you are not careful sometimes it is easy to lose it, so pay attention to when you have mounted it. As for the weight, it depends on the camera body with which you use it; on the Sony A6000 being a small body, light and with a little pronounced grip its weight is felt and unbalances the camera forward (problem that can be solved by adding a Smallrig that increases the grip), if instead it is used on bodies a little heavier and with more pronounced grips (see Nikon or Canon) the problem does not exist. Lens that I highly recommend to those who will make an amateur / semi-professional use and who are looking for sharpness and brightness at affordable prices, of course do not expect a top lens in everything like brands (and especially prices) more noble, but with the right compromises it is an excellent lens.
