    Hey, No not really, I suppose its f1,8 so people might feel like it misses focus but actually it’s them just not getting the focus point correct in the first place! -there’s a newer video on my channel called 7 mins of photography with the Sony 50mm, all of the video in that was on the 50 so check that out for a better idea of what it’s like for video :)
