I would not buy a case from a company that has that effort for "Detail". You are better of with the 50 mm from Sony or way better with the one from Sigma. Even if way more pricy

I think I've never seen a 50mm f1.8 lens which was aps-c only, that's interesting! Even so, it doesn't seem to be any smaller, lighter or cheaper than the famed 50mm f1.8 by Canon, which is for full frame and has a much better image quality, so that is the second surprise, seeing that Yongnuo made a decent "copy" of that lens for DSLR cameras years ago, which was available for about half the price of this one!

if you're planning to use your camera as a daily camera. I'd prolly go with the 25mm rather than 50mm. But for camera, i'd personally go for lumix as it is mirrorless. You can attach any lens to it ; vintage for an example. Also its small if thats a concern for you.

This is cheapest but worst lens I ever own. Pre focus can't focus, stabilization is not supported unless you have internal camera stabilization, very often refuse to focus at all.
