Sony SEL50M28 FE 50mm F2.8 Macro Lens
Versatile 50 mm "normal" macro prime lens for everyday photography as well as capturing impressive 1:1 macro images.
Features
- Get close for spectacular macro
With a minimum focusing distance of 16 centimeters you can get close enough for truly imposing life-size shots. There is less need to move the entire camera to find a usable shooting distance, so it is easy to shoot tabletop subjects without having to leave your seat and move around. This is an extremely useful lens for everyday situations. - Excellent image-wide sharpness and bokeh
A high-performance optical design that includes an ED glass element minimizes chromatic aberration, even when shooting close, contributing to outstanding corner-to-corner sharpness. Out-of-focus backgrounds are beautiful too, with a circular aperture mechanism helping to produce smooth, natural-looking bokeh that can make your subjects stand out. - Compact, lightweight design
Max. 2.78 inch diameter and 2.79 inch length with a total weight of only 8.4 oz (236 grams) for outstanding mobility and easy handling. This lens is a perfect match for the compact α series, and an ideal choice for everyday use. - Magnification and distance scales
Magnification and distance scales enhance convenience with precise numeric indications that can be an important aid in achieving the desired magnification and focus for macro photography. - Comprehensive control for easy macro
A focus-mode switch can be used to quickly switch between manual and auto focus, adapting easily to any macro opportunities that arise. A focus-range limiter sets the lens' focus range for the fastest possible AF operation, and a focus-hold button freezes focus wherever it is pressed for controlled, stable shooting. - For snapshots as well as macro
The lens's "normal" 50 mm focal length makes it ideal for shooting scenery and portraits as well as close-up subjects. An aspherical element carefully compensates for field curvature, maintaining top image quality from image center to periphery. - Reliable in challenging conditions
A sealed dust and moisture-resistant design provides extra protection and ensures reliable operation in challenging environments. Shoot with confidence in light rain or windy conditions.- Not guaranteed to be 100% dust- and moisture-proof.
