Description

The Sony E 50mm f/1.8 OSS is a prime lens for your Sony E-mount camera with APS-C sensor. This standard lens is suitable for close-ups, street scenes, and portrait photography. Thanks to the large aperture, the lens has a lot of depth of field and your subject stands out from the background. The 7-blade aperture creates a round, natural-looking bokeh. If you've been out all day and it's getting dark outside, the optical image stabilization compensates visible camera movement up to 4 stops.

THE perfect standard lens

  • F1.8
  • OSS
  • Fixed focal point

I've had a Sony NEX device for a long time, to get more out of the NEX I wanted to get rid of my kit lenses and buy myself a lens with a fixed focal length. This 50mm F1.8 lens offers a lot of creative possibilities and turns your Sony NEX device into a top camera. Especially the F1.8 can take your photos to the next level and especially BOKEH!!! The OSS also makes it easy to take stable images. The only downside is that the lens is a bit noisy. But it hardly stands out against all the positive that this lens can offer your Sony NEX.

Nice and user-friendly product for a good price

  • Good price/quality ratio
  • Nice sharpness/depth
  • Easy to use
  • because of the 50 mm you cannot photograph/film objects up close

The lens is compact and easy to use, in addition, you can create a nice sharpness/depth effect due to the low aperture. The price is also good for the quality. Very happy with it!

Magnificent. Solid construction beautiful images

  • Nice blurred background
  • razor sharp
  • Distance to object needed (more than you expect from 50mm)

Just went on holiday for a few days but already a big fan. Very light sensitive, so you can shoot beautiful portrait pictures, for example. The 50mm on this camera almost looks like 75mm so some distance is needed.
