Review summary
Written by Augur from the 26 reviews analyzed
This 50mm prime lens is particularly appreciated for its excellent light-gathering capability thanks to its maximum aperture of f/1.8. Compact and extremely lightweight, it is easy to carry around daily and offers remarkably sharp images once the aperture is closed to f/2.8. Some users will note, however, that maximum sharpness requires stopping down the aperture slightly, making images a bit softer wide open at f/1.8.
