Comments about Sony Sony 50mm f/1.4 a (alpha) Mount Digital SLR Standard Lens with Hood.:

This lens is great for walk around and low light. Use your feet more instead of standing in one spot. It's light weight and a pleasure to use with my Sony a850 My copy of this lens is sharp at all f/stops. I love it. Buy it if you can.

Comments about Sony Sony 50mm f/1.4 a (alpha) Mount Digital SLR Standard Lens with Hood.:

the fast lens is great for shooting children who are rarely still. The bright lens reduces the need for flash in many instances.
The fixed lens takes a little getting used to after using zooms.
The lens is very well made and I'm happy to add it to my collection of camera equipment.

I use an 18-250mm, f3.5-6.3 zoom lens for most situations.
For indoor sports, this 50mm f1.4 lens is a great addition.
