There is certainly NO shortage of 50mm lenses that can be used on the Sony A7 FE system. We have TONS of old vintage lenses from Leica, Voigtlander, Canon and Nikon that we can mount. We have Sony’s own native 50’s like the 50 1.8, 50 1.4 and 55 1.8. We have DSLR lenses we can use on the E System like Canon’s 50 1.2 L or Nikons 50 1.4. There is a 50mm flavor for anyone when it comes to using the Sony mirrorless and now we have another full frame fast 50, this time from Rokinon. This autofocus lens looks good, but how will it perform? At less than half the cost of the new Sony/Zeiss 50 1.4 and less than the Zeiss 55 1.8, it will be interesting to see how this one does, as there is always room for less expense with more quality. 😉

I’ll review this lens when I can get a hold of one, but to see more check out the link to B&H photo here.
