Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 Lens

Highlight:

• E-Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format
• Aperture Range: f/1.8 to f/22
• One Aspherical Element
• Double-Gauss Optical Design
• DC Autofocus Motor
• Seven-Blade Circular Diaphragm

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, and 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 straightforward design, this go-to lens balances both ease of handling along 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 is incorporated in the lens design to reduce astigmatism, field curvature, coma, and other monochromatic aberrations.

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

• DC actuator motor 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.

• The rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when employing selective focus techniques.
