My favorite Sony lens. Most of the photos from this lens I want to review. Especially portraits. Foolishly sold it when experimenting with other systems, but went back to Sony and bought it again first thing. Image quality and workmanship is as high as the first example. I willingly believe that top-end optics from Sony such as 24/1.4, 35/1.4, 50/1.4, 85/1.4, 135/1.8 gives even better quality. But, as an amateur, I would not just carry them on trips, for walks (well, except for 24/1.4 maybe). I carry this one all the time. Yes, and the price is different there, and 55 / 1.8 can be bought, especially used or at sales, much cheaper.
Can you provide more context about the word "Discontinued"?
