"This Sony 55mm f/1.8 is my favorite lens. It's on my Sony a7 III almost exclusively. The lens is super sharp through all of the apertures (even at f/1.8). Plus, 55mm is a very standard focal length and allows you to capture what you normally see in front of you. I can't say enough great things about this lens."
