The rating of 4.5 stars seems a bit generous TBH. After all, this is only a 50mm F/2 and it's being tested on a 16MP sensor.
I'm sure it's a good lens but it's neither cheap nor ambitious. Even the Sony E 50mm 1.8 seems better value when you take into account the OSS. Also the Fuji 60mm seems like a better choice given that it's equivalent to the classic 90mm focal length and has the extra versatility of macro. I have the 60mm and really like it.
P.S I've just noticed that when in the forums there's still a link to Sony NEX on the reviews menu and it goes to a 404, not sure if that's been pointed out already.
