The biggest issue has to be it's autofocus capabilities. It is slow and the motors are loud. If you want to take images of fast-moving subjects, I would suggest looking at other lenses but if your work is heavily centered on portraits and you're on a budget, you should consider buying this lens.
It is super light. Mostly soft material. Plastic compared to my other Sony/Tamron lenses but you get what you pay for. For the price, can’t beat it!

No es un 50mm f1.8 económico, pero Sony tiene unos precios más altos que la competencia.
Su enfoque a pesar de no ser rapidísimo, si resulta efectivo no errando en apenas ocasiones, si lo comparamos con el sony zeiss 55mm 1.8, resulta más lento, es evidente, pero también es un objetivo que vale menos de la mitad.
En cuanto a nitidez, es casi sobresaliente, francamente bueno, aquí no hay pega alguna, control de las aberraciones bueno, y distorsiones controladas.
En prestaciones (sin contar la velocidad de enfoque) mantiene muy bien el tipo, y un punto por delante de la competencia más económica, es aquí donde justifica su precio.
Conclusiones, si no tienes para ir a por el sony zeiss 55mm 1.8, este es un digno sucesor, siempre que no pretendas hacer fotos muy movidas. Como por ejemplo a niños pequeños o animales (Ojo, se pueden hacer, pero no será tan efectivo). Para retratos es muy bueno, funcionando perfectamente con el detector de caras y con el seguimiento en el ojo. (eye focus tracking).
Esto es una valoración real, no de un producto regalado. Si te ha sido útil por favor indícalo. Si quieres hacerme alguna pregunta, contestaré lo antes posible.
Dicen que el autofocus "busca" mucho. A mí no me lo ha hecho si busco bordes o diferencias de contraste, aunque sí es verdad que es algo lento. De hecho, habiendo leído pestes del objetivo por ahí, estoy encantado con el enfoque.
Yo lo compré de buena oferta a 200€. Por los 300 y algo que he visto por ahí, me parece que ya no es tan bueno en relación calidad-precio. Por menos de 250€, me parece una muy buena compra.
