Small, light, bright: a great normal prime

A large-aperture 50 mm prime lens is a must-have for serious full-frame camera users, and this is an excellent, affordable choice. The optical design is state-of-the-art for high image quality, and the large F1.8 maximum aperture can produce gorgeous background bokeh. On APS-C format E-mount bodies it provides equally high quality with an equivalent focal length of about 75 mm.

• E-Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format

• Aperture Range: f/1.8 to f/22

• One Aspherical Element

• Double-Gauss Optical Design

• DC Autofocus Motor

• Rounded Seven-Blade Diaphragm         

A simple, bright, and lightweight normal prime, the FE 50mm f/1.8 from Sony is a versatile normal-length prime lens designed for full-frame E-mount mirrorless cameras. Its sleek design makes it well-suited for everyday shooting, while the fast f/1.8 maximum aperture benefits working in low-light conditions as well as offers increased control over depth of field for selective focus imagery. The optical design incorporates one aspherical element to control spherical aberrations, an employs a double-gauss configuration in order to realize sharper, clearer image quality throughout the aperture range with reduced field curvature. A DC actuator is also employed to provide quick and precise autofocus performance that is also quiet to suit video recording applications. Additionally, a rounded seven-blade diaphragm is featured to render out-of-focus highlights with a smooth, circular appearance. Characterized by its straight-forward design, this go-to lens balances both ease of handling along with enhanced image quality.

 · Normal-length 50mm prime lens is designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, however, can also be used with APS-C models where it will provide a 75mm equivalent focal length.

· Fast f/1.8 maximum aperture benefits working in difficult lighting conditions and also avails greater control over focus placement for working with shallow depth of field techniques.

· One aspherical element minimizes spherical aberrations for improved clarity and sharpness.

· Double-gauss optical configuration helps to reduce field curvature and distortions for more consistent image quality from edge-to-edge.

· DC actuator offers quick, quiet, and accurate autofocus performance to suit both stills and video applications.

· Metal bayonet offers increased durability and a solid feel when mounting the lens.

· Rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
