Great value - of course not as good as native, but worth the price
Bought refurbished - I wanted a 1.4 aperture lens and I wasn't as worried about sharpness. Bout this mostly for the bokeh, and I am not disappointed. The lens of course is not as sharp a $1500 Sony f1.4 50mm (I bought this for the A7iii), but that's to be expected at 1/4 the cost. Overall, I love the colors (a bit warm), and it's certainly sharp enough. The focusing is loud and continuous, and the autofocus is nowhere near as good as my native Sony lenses, but again, that's to be expected. If you're wanting your 50mm lens to be your go-to lens that you use all the time, then perhaps go with one of the others as the autofocus and noise are issues. If you're like me and want this lens specifically for the bokeh effect, you'll be fine getting this. For the value, I'm very happy with it.Read full review...

Rokinon 50mm f1.4
This lens does produce some sharp images. It’s very durable and has a clean look.
I knew the auto focus was noisy but didn’t expect it to be as noisy as it is. Forget about recording a video. No good with all that noise. I constantly searches for focus and makes tons of noise. Also, there is a firmware update that improves the autofocus but will not eliminate the noise. Furthermore, Rokinon requires you to buy a Lens Station to update the lens which is roughly $110 US . You CANNOT update it on your camera . I wish I had done some more research it might have pursued me to not buy it. The noise is BAD !!!!Read full review...

Works perfectly
I'm using this on the sony a6300 and it works perfectly. I highly recommend this lens it also helps in lowlight to reduce the higher iso levels

mediocre lens
It's soft at f/1.4 and LOCA is atrocious. At f/2 and below image quality is no different than a cheap Sony 50/1.8. The focusing speed is only a bit better than 50/1.8. It's often sold at $499 at B&H and Adorama. Even at that price it's not a good value.Read full review...
