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