Verdict
The Sony 50mm f/2.8 macro is certainly a very good lens but it does not really stand out from the crowd - macro lenses simply tend to be top performers. The resolution potential of the lens is very high straight from f/2.8. The vignetting is usually not field-relevant and the level of distortions is negligible. The quality of the bokeh is very decent. Technically lateral CAs may be a tad too high at large aperture settings but it's not really something to worry about. The build quality of the lens is good although there're also no reasons to rave about it here either. The Sony lens has a price tag around 400US$/€ which is a bit steep compared to the third-party alternatives. Regarding its Canon and Nikon counterparts the Sony lens does also feel a little dated.
