Pros: Sharpness, value for money.

Cons: Cumbersome Af

Opinion: Classic 50 1.8 on Fullframe. I could stop here... I think that, for the cost, it is a lens to have in the kit because the so-called "normal focal length" is always excellent for many uses and allows you to play from reportage to portraiture. Personally I found it very sharp even at TA, the color rendering I have always found a bit flat... Really slow and noisy af

Pros: Sharpness, lightness

Cons: Noisy AF

Opinion: Premise: bought used at a very affordable price. I am a non-professional amateur. Too bad the noisy AF motor. Otherwise, it's a great goal. Sharpness, lightness and good blur. This model does not have optical stabilizer. The pairing with my alfa3000 (APS-C) for landscapes and portraits is great.

Pros: Price Sharpness Lightness

Cons: AF not brilliant

Opinion: Taken for a7rii and have an optics at the same time light and with good performance . Obviously there is better quality but at prices and weights are double . This 50 ino does its duty and does it well the only flaw is the autofocus that is sufficient on A7rii while on a6600 is excellent. Pleasant also the blurred . This 50 ino I recommend it especially to people who do not want to break through their back and need a portrait optics. At just over 200 euros I think there is no better.

Pros: Value for money, lightweight and compact

Cons: AF Performance

Opinion: The classic 50mm of good quality, does not excel in anything, but offers good image quality at an affordable price. Good construction (certainly better than the Canon EF 50 1.8) Too bad that the autofocus is not very performing, nothing dramatic works sufficiently, but in certain situations of light / contrast does not hook precisely or loses focus, on A7 mk IV improves a little without miracles. Overall a very versatile lens to have in the kit

Pros: Sharpness, weight, price, compactness, quality of materials

Cons: Unstabilized, sometimes pronounced aberration in the background, slightly noisy AF

Opinion: Lens that presents itself very well, 100% sony quality, shame only for the lack of stabilizer. Tested on Sony a7 III, the quality of the details is commendable, sometimes sins of aberrations in the background and the autofocus behaves fairly well, perhaps slightly noisy. I also tried it with Sony a6000 that on APS-C becomes a 75mm and trust that the combination is frighteningly surprising. What can I say, highly recommended also because it is cheap.
