SONY Standard Lens FE 50mm F1.8 (SEL50F18F.SYX)

• Compact, lightweight, and bright: a great normal prime lens

A 50mm prime lens with a large aperture is essential for the serious full-frame photographer, and this is an excellent, affordable choice. The modern optical design delivers high image quality, and the large F1.8 aperture creates beautiful background bokeh. The quality is no less impressive on E-mount APS-C format cameras, thanks to an approximate 75mm focal length.

• Mobile and handy for active shooting

This full-frame lens is compact and weighs only 186 grams. You can easily carry it with you, on the camera or in your bag, and it's always ready to use. In terms of size and weight, this lens fits perfectly with compact α cameras, offering optimal ease of use.

• Lifelike details, texture, and gradation

A redesigned optical double Gauss configuration with an aspherical element minimizes spherical aberration and coma for sharp, high-quality rendering in every frame. The double Gauss design also suppresses field curvature and distortion.

• Large-aperture prime lens for beautiful bokeh

A large F1.8 aperture and a 7-blade circular aperture create beautiful background bokeh, making subjects come alive. By placing a focused subject against a slightly blurred background, you create images with a deep, dimensional effect.

• Shooting at night or indoors in low light

The large maximum aperture of F1.8 is an advantage when shooting night scenes or in dimly lit rooms. Combined with an α camera with in-body image stabilization, low-light performance is even better, allowing you to shoot brighter images handheld in dark conditions without resorting to excessively high ISO sensitivity.

• Sharp focus with DC motor

The new DC motor drive system is carefully designed and implemented for optimal focusing precision, speed, and silent operation. Focusing is always smooth, whether you choose automatic or manual. Note: the sound of the focus motor may be picked up during movie recording.

• A lens you can rely on

The metal mount provides a premium feel and offers increased durability.
