Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony 50mm f/1.4 Lens for Sony Alpha Digital SLR Camera

Customer Review: Good lens but AF slightly out of focus
Summary: 4 Stars

I'm happy with the speed of this lens, which I'm using on an A550. There are a lot of good things to say about the lens (check the web reviews for details). However, the autofocus is slightly off at full aperture. I scrutinised three lenses in the store and they all had the same problem. Basically if I focus on the nose the eyes will be sharp. This is not really acceptable, but I'm told it is possible to hand in the camera and lens to Sony for calibration. Manual focusing naturally solves the problem too, but that is a tedious work-around. You also need a good autofocus system to get the full benefits of this lens because it is light sensitive. In a dark environment the lens will work but your autofocus system might not be up to scratch. Thats the case on my Sony A550
