Sony E 50mm f/1.8 OSS SEL50F18

My overall rating of 4 is for those occasions when I'm using the lens for rapid, point-and-shoot *interior* photography with the Sony NEX 7 set to "autofocus", in poor to average shopping mall lighting conditions.
Pros:
  • very sharp
  • lightweight
Cons:
  • Difficult to autofocus when used for rapid
  • candid
  • interior photography

New Sony FE 50mm F1.8 Lens review

As an economical way to get a "nifty fifty", the average Sony user probably won't complain about the Sony FE 50mm ƒ/1.8: at $250, it's one of Sony's least expensive lenses, though compared to other manufacturers, there is still a premium price.

New Sony FE 50mm F1.8 Lens review

The new Sony FE 50mm F1.4 ZA is impressive. Our friend Roger Cicala over at LensRentals notes its central sharpness performance to exceed even the venerable Zeiss Otus , as well as the Sigma 50mm Art. He even found it to out-perform the 55/1.8 centrally, but fall behind it peripherally.

REVIEW: Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 Review

Most camera marques now have an inexpensive 50mm lens in their ranges. These are often described as "nifty fifties" or "plastic fantastics", the implication being that they are cheap and cheerful, but often superb performers as well.

Sony FE 50mm f1.8 review so far

The Sony FE 50mm f1.8 is an affordable standard prime lens for Alpha mirrorless cameras. It delivers standard coverage on full-frame bodies making it an ideal walk-around lens, and becomes a short telephoto on APSC bodies, equivalent to 75mm, making it perfect for portraits.

New Sony FE 50mm F1.8 Lens review

If you turn a blind eye to the build quality, the Sony FE 50 mm f/1.8 might be a very attractive alternative for the more expensive Zeiss Sonnar T* 55 mm f/1.8 FE. The cheaper lens is weaker at the maximum relative aperture, that’s true, but on stopping down it provides even higher MTFs while...
Pros:
  • Very good image quality in the frame centre,, Good image quality on the edge of the APS-C sensor,, Low longitudinal chromatic aberration,, Imperceptible lateral chromatic aberration,, Lack of spherical aberration problems,, Negligible distortion,, Slight astigmatism,, Low vignetting on the APS-C...
Cons:
  • Image quality near the maximum relative aperture on the edge of the frame could have been a bit better,, Huge coma,, Significant vignetting on full frame,, Slow autofocus.

New Sony FE 50mm F1.8 Lens review

The Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 is the fifth standard lens for the full-frame Sony E-mount (excluding the 50mm f/2.8 macro) and it is also one of the least expensive at just shy of $250. Since there currently aren’t many affordable lenses for the system, it is certain to appeal to beginners or those who want...
