It does not display the effective aperture as focussed closer to 1:1, meaning that actual exposure becomes less as focused to macro distances, which is only a problem when used with external exposure meters or manual flash.

Displays the same aperture even as focussed to 1:1.

Stops down only to f/16, which is a pity as the best macro shots of most things other than test charts are made at f/32.

Noisy autofocus motor sounds like it's from the 1980s.

Awful autofocus that has to hunt back and forth just about every time looking for the subject.

Autofocuses over the entire frame on an A9.

On the good side, there is a focus lock button and a focus range limiter switch which helps a little with autofocus. Skip this 50 and please get the 90/2.8, which is a superb lens all around - especially if you shoot macro. For serious macro work you have to get so close with this 50mm that you usually block your own light. The 90mm lens focuses fast and silently, while this nasty little 50mm's AF motor sounds like a kid's toy. I wouldn't buy this 50 2.8 I'd get the superb Sony 90/2.8 G OSS macro instead. Manual focus doesn't win any prizes either, being geared so slowly that it takes quite a few turns to get it in focus. The AF system hunts back and forth, flying right past your subject a few times until it finally locks on. This Sony FE 50mm f/2.8 Macro is an optically superb lens with a crummy autofocus system. This is a hand-held shot at a slow shutter speed put the camera on a tripod so you can get everything parallel to the image plane and stop down to f/8 and it's so sharp as to be almost three-dimensional. It's super sharp, even wide-open at f/2.8, even in the far corners.
