Digital camera reviews of Sony 50mm f/1.4 Lens for Sony Alpha Digital SLR Camera
Digital camera Review: Very good lens
Summary: 5 Stars
I like this one a lot. It is very sharp. It is very quick to focus. The wide aperture means you can shoot in very little light and that you can have really shallow depth of field for portraits. Be careful though. Like with all 1.4s the depth of field is very shallow indeed at 1.4 and it takes some skill to make sure you nail the focus because the in focus area is so small at that aperature. On an APS-C crop camera such as the Sony A100 and A700 this lens makes for a great portrait lens at a reasonable price.
One thing though. The lens is awesome but I don't know if its a gigantic enough upgrade from a used Minolta 50 1.7 to justify paying more than three times the price.
Digital camera Review: I Appreciate my Camera more now
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this lens to try out with my Alpha 350 to take flashless indoor pictures of my ever moving 2 year old, and the results were Amazing!
The sharpness is way better than I had ever gotten with my kit lenses, and the speed of the lens makes sure that I get no blurs, or noisy dark pictures.
Strongly Recommended.
Digital camera Review: This Great Little Lens Has Its Place
Summary: 5 Stars
The Sony 50mm f1.4 lens definitely has a place in your camera bag. It's small and light and perfect for situations where there isn't much light. I found it sharp from f2 on up. Takes some getting used to if you are used to zooming all your shots like crazy. You will need to move around a lot. I took my first ever night shots of downtown Rochester with it. I didn't have a tripod but was able to shoot at f2 and 1/8th second and come away with some fine pictures.
The lens arrived from Amazon in perfect shape and took only 3 days. You'll like this lens if you don't expect it to do "everything".
Digital camera Review: Sharp, bright, light, and versatile
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the best prime lenses ever made, and an excellent update by Sony to keep it in the lineup. A great choice for various portrait work even professional, indoor/low light shooting, and for landscapes when a wide angle isn't needed or you prefer to stitch several images together (distortion free images help with this greatly).
Will be an excellent lens for full frame as well, whether by film or the new upcoming A900.
Highly recommended.

My first fixed lens. Great shots, super sharp, fast focus, light weight, but a little expensive.
