Sony SEL50F18F/2 FE 50mm F1.8 Lens

Full-frame E-mount Fast Prime Lens
This 50mm Full-frame E-mount Fast Prime Lens offers a focal length that is perfect for portraiture and a range of other subjects. A bright F1.8 maximum aperture, 7-blade circular aperture and aspherical element deliver impressive image quality with beautifully defocused background bokeh, all in a surprisingly compact and lightweight package

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. When used with an α series camera body that features in-body image stabilization, even greater low-light capability enables handheld capture of clear images in dark scenes without having to use excessively high ISO sensitivity.
  • 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 for excellent optical characteristics right out to the image periphery. An aspherical element in a new optical design controls all types of aberration (spherical, coma, distortion), rendering the subject with superior sharpness.
  • 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The maximum aperture is f/1.8, which allows more light to enter the lens, making it ideal for low-light conditions. This wide aperture also enables a shallow depth of field, creating a beautifully defocused background (bokeh) that makes the subject stand out.
  • The 7-blade circular aperture helps create smooth, circular bokeh effects by maximizing the beauty of large-aperture prime lenses. This results in images with a pleasing out-of-focus background that enhances portraiture and artistic photography.
  • The lens is compatible with Sony E-mount cameras and works well with both full-frame and APS-C sensor bodies, providing versatile options for various shooting styles and conditions.
  • This lens features a precise optical design with 6 elements in 5 groups, including an aspherical element that effectively reduces distortion, chromatic aberration, and spherical aberration. These features deliver sharp, high-quality images with excellent clarity from center to edge.
  • The minimum focus distance is approximately 1.48 feet (0.45 meters), allowing you to capture close-up shots with good detail, which is useful for portrait photography and other subjects where a tighter framing is desired.
