The Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 Lens is a compact and lightweight prime lens designed for Sony's full-frame E-mount cameras. It features a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture, ideal for low-light conditions and achieving a shallow depth of field.

This SLR mirrorless 50mm prime lens is crafted for Sony full-frame E-mount cameras, offering an optimal balance between a fixed focal length's simplicity and the versatility to tackle numerous photography scenarios.

Compact Standard Lens

The lens architecture includes an aspherical element to significantly lessen spherical aberrations, field curvature, and other chromatic distortions, resulting in heightened edge-to-edge sharpness and image fidelity. The double-gauss lens configuration also mitigates field curvature and distortion for more uniform image quality.

Advanced Optical Construction

A DC motor actuator delivers rapid and whisper-quiet autofocus performance that benefits both stills and video captures. Featuring a minimum focus distance of 1.5 feet and a 0.15x magnification, it performs well with subjects at close proximities. A robust metal bayonet affords durability and ensures a secure lens connection.

The **50mm** focal length sits squarely in the standard range, making it a natural fit for a wide variety of photographic subjects and scenarios. The **f/1.8** maximum aperture is one of the lens's most notable attributes, providing meaningful light-gathering capability and the ability to work effectively in a range of lighting conditions. The lens supports both **autofocus and manual focus**, giving users control over how they engage with their subjects. Weighing just **186g**, this is a compact and light option that pairs well with the slim profile of modern mirrorless bodies.
