Features

  • Compact, lightweight, easy to carry
  • F1.8 maximum aperture for low-light shots
  • 7-blade circular aperture for beautiful defocus effects

The optical design is state-of-the-art for high image quality, and the large F1.8 maximum aperture can produce gorgeous background bokeh. On APS-C format E-mount bodies it provides equally high quality with an equivalent focal length of about 75 mm.

    Great lens
    5 Stars
    Great lens
    Every professional photographer has a 50mm lens, which are used for portraiture. They call them a nifty fifty. I don’t go that far, but they have a unique property where they can have a depth of field that keeps the subject in focus, but blurs things behind it. It can give you a nice effect that eliminates distractions and makes you focus on what’s important.
