Pros:Lightweight, versatile, small, very low price for Full Frame
Cons:he just lacks a smaller focus distance
Opinion:I will be sincere and hairless on my tongue. A crisp 50mm FullFrame 1.8 even at sony's original 200 euro TA you can't help but buy. I always try to try the optics for what I really am and not to hear, as I do on my channel https://www.youtube.com/c/LucaMelilloLights The Sony 50ino I always use it when I have to go out light and without a backpack, always take home the photo, it is reliable and precise. The only thing he lacks is the focus distance, unfortunately at 45cm it's too much... Patience
Cons:Compared to the equivalent canon stm costs too much. Accurate but slow for quick subjects. Audable in videos in quiet environments. Plastic that doesn't give a feeling of excessive durability
Opinion:By chance I had tried a couple of different, one at f 1.8 was not very sharp, the other was good. Alongside my sigma art 50mm that weighs a ton, especially when they are not jobs where the lens makes the difference, I took one used cheaply that at f1.8 is super sharp, otherwise I would not have taken it. Obviously at the edges you don't have to expect the same quality, but it is comparable to all 50mm 1.8 of the latest generation (except the Z that is on a world apart) The bokeh is bubble, nothing creamy anyway pleasant, in line with the price range. On my a7III is fine and they are all precisely in focus. The af engine is stable and precise, the only flaw if you have to make a near-distant fire change and vice versa, it takes a while compared to a more expensive goal. At the end of the story, all right? Yes, but only if you catch a sharp specimen. Great if you want to go light. If you have money to spend there is also the 45mm samyang that has a decidedly nice bokeh, but those 5mm make the difference, in the end they do not overlap.
Pros:Color yield, light, compact, great price of the new
Cons:Autofocus in low light
Opinion:I thought a lot about whether to buy this goal, but the choice between 50 mm to 1.8 was not very wide without going on lenses with decidedly excessive weight. I was very impressed by the color rendering, the colors to my taste are magnificent! Overall it is a good lens with excellent value for money of the new. EDIT 18/09/20: After having the ability to try it out in the field for several shots I confirm what other users described on the focus, even on my A7R3 is very slow even if it is then precise when hooking.
Cons:non-tropicalized, noisy autofocus for video and has no internal focus
Opinion:I bought it a few months ago, new at an absolutely inviting promotional price (149 euros, thanks to Black Friday). The idea was to keep it for a while, waiting to replace it with the much more expensive Sonnar 55. In fact the performance turned out to be higher than expected and I don't think I'll change it anymore. It is an economic construction perspective - but at that price it is difficult to claim better - and it has the limits of the type of autofocus and the lack of tropicalization. But apart from these aspects, optically it is much better than I expected and what I had read in various reviews where it almost seems like a bottle bottom. It doesn't really work out to me! Even the AF, downloading the latest firmware of the Sony A7 III, is suitable for most situations, except for action photos, and is very accurate in almost 100% of cases. The sharpness is very good in the center from the maximum openings. The edges are discrete to TA, good at f.2.8 and become great from f.5.6. But this is noted in monitors going to analyze the high magnification image. In inkject prints the differences appear negligible, when you can also notice (two A4 prints with many fine details, one at f.2 and the other at f.8, appear more or less identical). The chromatic aberrations are also very correct. Ultimately, a lightweight lens, great for journeys and portraits set and providing photos of virtually indistinguishable quality compared to far more expensive optics.
Cons:with an embarrassing autofocus and very "plastic" construction
Opinion:For what it costs you can't expect too much... I use it on A7 first series, although a similar autofocus I had not yet seen it, the worst I have ever tried... very slow and uncertain, even with the latest firmware is light years away from cheap third-party lenses like Samyang... it still remains very sharp and cheap, too bad for the autofocus, or it would have been perfect... I still feel like recommending it to anyone looking for a good lens spending little, using it to portray the bad autofocus does not impact so much.
