Is the sony planar t fe 50mm f 1 4 za worth buying used?

Yes, I think it's a good candidate for a used buy. Lenses tend to last for years, and a used copy is often most of the lens for much less money. I don't have current prices for this one, so compare listings with new prices yourself before you commit.

On full frame it frames a true 50mm, a classic everyday focal length. On APS-C it frames like 75mm, which suits portraits and tighter subjects. If you're pairing it with a body, the Sony a7 III is a solid full-frame choice, and the Sony a6400 is a lighter APS-C option.

Whatever you buy, budget for a new genuine battery, since old ones lose capacity. The full advice is in buying used.
