Review on 📷 Sony E Mount Nex Camera Mid-Range Lens: 50mm f/1.8 Sony Lens by Garrick Prince

Disclaimer: I'm an amateur photographer and bought a Sony a6000 with a 16-55mm kit lens a few months ago. However, I quickly gave up the kit lens and really wanted to explore the possibilities of my new camera. After debating between Sony's best 35mm and 50mm lenses, I settled on this bad boy first. I can't say that this is my favorite lens that I leave on 90% of the time, but it definitely fills a certain niche depending on the situation. this is great for portraits. Even at f/2.5 to f/2.8 you still get creamy bokeh in the background with good subject isolation. However, to justify its $300 price tag, I've used it in other situations. As a Yelper elite, I'm constantly that idiot with a camera, photographing every dish I order at a restaurant before stuffing it into my mouth, hungry. Still, it works well for close-ups. Extreme shots of insects, flowers etc. better justified with a macro lens, although consider a cheap alternative from Meike (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BXZ9ALQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). to turn this 50mm lens into a quasi-macro lens . I've also used it occasionally for street photography, although its long focal length makes it unwieldy for indoor use. You can't zoom out with your feet with your back against the wall, you know? In these specific situations, I use a 50mm hands-free lens. Is this the most versatile lens? no That's why I also have a Sony 28mm f/2 lens, which I often leave on my camera. In hindsight, I would have bought my 28mm Prime first because of its practicality. However, the 50mm lens works as a great companion with a kit lens and should eventually find its way into your camera bag no matter when you buy it.
