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. With its f/1.8 maximum aperture, this lens adeptly manages low light situations while maintaining a slender size.

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.
