That's what you can easily say about this lens, but that also points to what this lens really is: a manual, dependable, sharp 50mm prime with decent to excellent image quality.
It's nice and solidly made from hard plastic (no metal), and looks pretty good. It's very compact (as most 50mm's) and handles very smoothly. Focussing was easy and the Sony Peak Focussing worked like a charm. Bokeh is nice but nothing special.
Summary: looks nice, good image quality, sharp for it's price, good handling, compact size. If you are looking for a cheap but decent 50mm prime to add to your collection at an awesome price, do not hesitate. If you are looking for something special, or the best image quality ever, please move along. Nothing special to see here...
