Pros:For the price, I would say that it has no weaknesses.
Cons:For this price nothing. Perhaps the ring of focus is not very pleasant to the touch but it is precisely the hair in the egg.
Opinion:After trying it out enough, I think this lens has no weaknesses. Needless to insert among the cons the build quality or a bokeh not from fullframe. These are things you know even before you buy it. It is small and lightweight, razor-sharp at all apertures and with a phenomenal autofocus (AFC). Stabilized. Valid for portraiture but also for street or macro (taking advantage of a minimum distance of MAF very advantageous). Purchase of which I am very happy and that I absolutely recommend.
Opinion:Excellent lens, stabilization in such a light and bright small lens is a masterpiece. Excellent clarity and rendering both photographic and video. Autofocus good, not a lightning bolt like Sony has accustomed us lately but it is still effective. Great lens for apsc format (here's the big con) too bad the full frame version is much lower. A must have for Sony rooms if it wasn't for a competitor who eats it for breakfast - sigma 56. However, it has a considerable strength compared to its competitor which is stabilization that still makes it very attractive both in price and performance.
Pros:Sharp, bright, IQ very good, light, compact, cheap
Cons:Nobody
Opinion:Ideal prime lens for Sony A 6xxx (I have the 6000). It has everything you could want with unbeatable value for money especially if purchased with offers (I paid it 230 euros in summer 2019). In association with the 35mm f 1.8 brother he forms a pair of goals that are a must for APSC Sony owners looking for sharpness and quality. I use it for portraits but also for street and especially for interiors or evening photos where the good resistance of the sensor to the high ISO (I normally use Auto ISO 100-1600) and the stabilization of the lens allow you to take home great shots even in difficult conditions. I have no problem with MAF. The alternatives considered were the two Zeiss (Batis 40mm f 2 and the Loxia 50mm f2) which, from what it reads are exceptional but which cost 800-1200 euros and the Sigma 60mm which has a human price however is not stabilized. Just this last aspect made me lean for the Sony and I am perfectly satisfied with my choice
Pros:Ideal focal point for portrait, stabilization, colors, brightness, lightness
Cons:A little too soft, MAF (on A6000) not always precise, manual MAF dial too demanypicata
Opinion:Taken to complete the triad of fixed in addition to the 12mm Samyang F2 and the 32mm F1.8 Zeiss Touit to cover the american portrait and piano focal. I must say that I chose it as an alternative to the Sony/Zeiss 55mm F1.8 (which I tried thoroughly) for stabilization (absent on the sensor of the A6000) and a little regretted. It is, however, an optic that I judge from acceptable to good, with excellent color yield but that never reaches levels of sharpness. I get much better results by cropping the shots made with the 32mm Zeiss. The automatic MAF surprised me in the negative because often, even in ideal light conditions, it is not very precise. Manually sewing is inconvenient due to excessive demolition of the dial. This 50mm I recommend if you do not intend to spend much, knowing however that around there is much better at human prices anyway. Personally I did not make it but I plan to replace it in a few months. UPDATE: I found that using it in AFC the MAF always becomes perfect. I could not imagine such a difference in behavior between AFS and AFC sincerely. I do not know if it depends on the lens or its combination with the A6000, but at least now I can count on a precise and reasonably fast automatic sealing as with the Zeiss 32mm and, in its time, with the Zeiss 55mm. I change my judgment from "acceptable to good" to "good to great".
Pros:Compact, stabilized, fast autofocus, crisp, inexpensive if taken second hand.
Cons:Poor materials, but it is justified by the price, focus ring not so precise and very ' plasticose '.
Opinion:A ' must have ' objective. Particularly sharp compared to the canon and Nikon counterpart but with the advantage of being stabilized. At f2.8 the sharpness is excellent, between F4 and F 6.3 You have the maximum sharpness. Some chromatic aberration at f 1.8 but nothing serious. Surely there are other chromatic aberrations from F8 up, but considering the focal length I don't think you'll ever use it at this aperture. Also great for video. Combined with Sony a6500 the stabilization is superb. Photo and video quality 9.5. Build Quality 6.5. 50 mm are a single focal, or you can not use it for anything, if you want, better a 35 mm paired with a 85, do almost everything, otherwise better match the 50mm a 16mm or a fish eye for landscape and street fotography. Given the price and the quality it pulls out to have in the outfit.
