About Sony FE 50mm F/1.8
FEATURED REVIEWS
Great value.
Older tech focus motor is a bit noisy and a tad sluggish compared to some of Sony's speedier lenses, but it is not that bad in either regard. But... Sharp on center. Great bokeh. Thin DOF. Great colors. Exactly what I expect from a nifty fifty.
Great for Portraits
I had the 55mm 1.8 Zeiss Lens and for the price point of that lens I was able to get two other lens with one being the 50mm 1.8 FE by Sony. I really could not tell a difference between the two unless under microscopic examination and that was with aberration and even then I was hard pressed to tell a difference. Otherwise, I recommend the 50mm for the price point.
After mounting the Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 Lens onto your E-mount mirrorless camera or compatible Sony Handycam, you'll be poised to capture stunning, professional-grade photographs with ease. This prime lens, a staple in any photographer's kit, is renowned for its high-quality construction and exceptional performance in a variety of lighting conditions.
Weighing a mere 6.7 ounces, this lens is a testament to Sony's innovative design, offering a lightweight solution for photographers who require a portable yet durable portrait lens. Its wide f/1.8 aperture not only facilitates maximum light gathering for impressive low-light photography but also contributes to significant noise reduction by enabling the use of lower ISO settings.
The lens's circular aperture mechanism contributes to its ability to produce exquisitely round light points when fully open, avoiding the typical polygonal shapes and ensuring smooth, creamy bokeh that beautifully isolates the subject from a softly defocused background. This feature is particularly beneficial for portrait and close-up photography, where the emphasis on the subject is paramount.
Optimized for full-frame Sony Alpha cameras, the FE 50mm f/1.8 lens allows photographers to fully exploit the benefits of the 50mm focal length. When used on APS-C sensor cameras, it provides a longer effective focal length, offering versatility for those who may switch between full-frame and crop sensor bodies.
The lens boasts a fast and agile focusing system, powered by a robust motor that operates with remarkable quietness, making it an excellent choice for videographers who need to maintain pristine audio quality without the interference of focusing noise.
Incorporating multiple advanced lens elements, this lens effectively minimizes lens flare, ghosting, and chromatic aberration, ensuring that your images are sharp, clear, and free of common optical imperfections. The solid metal mount reinforces the lens's reliability and durability, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of daily use.
The Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 is not just a lens; it's a professional tool designed to elevate your photography and videography to new heights, delivering crisp, vivid imagery with a level of bokeh that truly enhances the visual appeal of your shots. Whether you're a hobbyist or a seasoned pro, this lens is a smart investment for anyone looking to expand their creative capabilities with a reliable, high-performance prime lens.
Sony FE 50mm F/1.8 Features
- Smooth defocusing: The F1.8 maximum aperture opens up a world of beautiful prime-lens bokeh. The large F1.8 maximum aperture is also an advantage when shooting night scenes or in dimly lit interiors.
- 7-blade circular aperture: The 7-blade circular aperture maximizes the beauty of large-aperture prime-lens, contributing to impressive images in which the subject stands out against a smoothly defocused background bokeh.
- Refined optical performance: The lens has an innovative optical design to achieve clear, high-quality images by effectively minimizing distortion and chromatic aberration. A double-gauss configuration effectively suppresses field curvature and distortion, while a precisely placed aspherical element controls spherical aberration and coma
- Solid Durability: Designed for reliability in a wide range of environments, the metal mount adds a sophisticated feel as well as solid durability.
- Fast, agile focusing: Fast and accurate autofocus is achieved with a newly developed DC motor focus actuator system which drives all lens groups for optimum focus precision and speed as well as quiet operation.
