Very Sharp Glass, F1.4

Francis from CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA on 9/23/2022

Verified employee review

Incredibly nice lens. I used this and a 16-35mm on a recent vacation. I felt like a pro instantly. Giving aperture control right on the lens was extremely helpful and shooting with DM focus set on the A7 I was using was really fun to dial in the focus manually after the camera grabbed what it thought was the perfect focus. I highly recommend this lens for travel, portrait, and food photography. The only complaint was it's weight which isn't a problem, just something to note. It made my camera feel like a toy in comparison.

Pros: Extremely Sharp. Manual aperture ring on lens. F1.4

Cons: Pretty Heavy. Lens transport bag (included) is not super high quality

Sony SEL50F14Z Planar T* FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA

John from Ambridge, PA on 11/20/2016

A great standard lens. It is very good as a portrait lens in smaller spaces where something like an 85 is too much. The 1.4 aperture can really melt the background. The lens is very sharp and also great for landscapes stopped down. Great sharpness from edge to edge.

Pros: 1.4 aperture, sharp!

Cons: Large and heavier than some standard 50mm lenses

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
