Small, compact, very sharp (Dyxum 4.98 out of 5; 4.92 out of 5.0 overall), versatile lens. I have used it for landscapes, street, and social and civic events. The large max aperture makes it perform well in lower light situations.
Sony says:
This standard prime lens with a 55 mm focal length and large F1.8 maximum aperture offers stunning ZEISS® Sonnar® contrast and resolution for full-frame E-mount bodies. It can also create gorgeous background bokeh to set off your subject when needed. The big, bright maximum aperture means you can shoot handheld in low-light conditions while still getting outstanding sharpness and clarity.
