Digital camera reviews of Sony 50mm f/1.4 Lens for Sony Alpha Digital SLR Camera
Digital camera Review: Not what it should be
Summary: 2 Stars
I have used Sigma's 50/1.4 on both Canon and Nikon mounts the old Minolta 1.7 and Canon and Nikon's own version. Sony is the worst of them. Sony is trying to get into the pro market but will need to do a much better job. This lens is way to soft in the corners, the focusing ring is not very comfortable to work with and and it is slow to AF on the A350 and 7xi bodies I tried it on. I know Sony can make some decent lenses but this is far from it. Sony users would be much better off with the Sigma 50/1.4 it is a excellent lens that far surpasses this or even try picking up the old Minolta one if you can find it. Competing against the 1.8 Nikon and Canons it would be a fair comparison, but 1.4 is leaning towards the pro side and this lens fails against it's rivalsDigital camera Review: Perfect MUST-HAVE lens
Summary: 5 Stars
This lens is amazing in all aspects although it has one downside which is when using f/1.4 it has disturbing color aberration but it's not much of a deal if you use f/2.0 more often.Digital camera Review: Perfect but
Summary: 5 Stars
When shooting portrait indoors I use this lens with no UV filter. If you are careless with putting the lens cap on you can damage the lens surround. This does not effect functionality but does effect the appearance. Images shot with this lens are fantastic. I 100% recommend this lens.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.
