The SONY 50mm f/1.8 fullframe lens is so much better now, after the firmware upgrade.
The AF is more precise and snappy, usable for photo and video work. The bokeh is a bit busy and despite a good sharpness, I find the images boring, they lack character. Still it gets the job done, it is not very expensive, and therefore comes
RECOMMENDED

Love it? Hate it? Wide open the TTArtisan 21mm f/1.5 is not usable at all. The image is too soft in the center and corners, the amount of CA's is unbearable, contrast and colors and not good. As soon as we stop it down to f/2 it get so much better and at f/2.8 is another great improvement.
