## Description

Product Description The new 50mm F1.8 fixed focal length from Sony is extremely compact, lightweight and cost-effective. The ideal choice for those who want to enjoy the benefits of a lens with a large aperture and fixed focal length. Shooting a video with interchangeable lens cameras and compact cameras is becoming increasingly popular. These cameras are great for capturing short movie clips, but aren't designed to replace the uninterrupted video capture capability of camcorders. All manufacturers in the industry have defined a limit of up to 29 minutes, 50 seconds for continuous video recording with these cameras. However, this limit can often be much shorter depending on the camera. Sony cameras with interchangeable lenses have a maximum of 29 minutes and 50 seconds for continuous video recording. This period is affected by the following factors. Ambient temperature, The number of clips recorded at the same time, The time that the camera is allowed to cool down between clips. When you use the camera to shoot long video clips or to capture many series of still images, the temperature inside the camera increases. If the temperature gets too high, a warning icon may appear and the camera will shut down to protect the circuit. This is not a mistake and the camera simply needs to be turned off for a few minutes to allow it to cool down.

Review: I have found its most responsive in AFC but still good in AFS - Ignore any reviews pre firmware v3 (or v2), this lens has been transformed. Its not as fast to focus as the Zeiss 55mm but its perfectly suited to day to day shooting and the optics are punching well above its weight price wise. I have found its most responsive in AFC but still good in AFS, ergonomics are excellent (better than the 55), weight is perfect and the focus motor is not as loud as reviews suggest, not noticeable at all really once you get going (unless you have some random OCD!!) The lens has character no doubt about that, images have a great quality especially paired with Sony's fine sensors. If money were no object I would pick the Zeiss 55mm but money is absolutely a factor for me so this is a great surprise to find the lens is nowhere near as bad as I expected. So in summary its got its limitations so don't expect to be blown away but for shooting this lens day to day you can't go wrong IMO, its a little beaut!
Review: Black Sheep of the Family! - I've been a Pro Photographer for 40 years and recently transitioned to Sony from Nikon. I usually buy a cheap 50mm as standard but hesitated with this model after seeing the initial reviews. I purchased a Sigma 50mm 1.4 Art (too bulky/heavy), CZ 55mm 1.8 (Nervous Bokeh) and Samyang 50mm 1.4 (Terrible AF Performance) but wasn't happy with any of them so returned them. This wee lens was on a deal of the day offer recently so I thought I'd take a punt and buy one and try it. It was one of the best decisions I've made as this lens is brilliant value for money for £145.00. The lens came supplied with firmware version 3.0. VERDICT Exceptionally Sharp, and particularly so at centre Clean Bokeh, with exceptionally smooth focus transition and smooth overall rendering Low Chromatic Aberration Light weight and compact size The AF is a tad slow to acquire focus on AFS but is pretty good on AFC The focusing although somewhat noisy, does not hunt or misfocus at all on any of my bodies.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: If its a 50mm lens i dont get this (75mm) in the description......can anyone explain please ? 75mm (35mm equivalent) focal length with aps-c sensor. a**
A: If you have a Sony full frame camera such as the A7 line this lens will be a 50mm.
If you have another such as the a6000 which has a smaller sensor it will be the equivalent of a 75mm

**Q: Will this fit a Sony alpha 58?**
A: Since Sony A58 is an A mount type camera, you cannot use this lens without an adaptor.

**Q: Will work on sony a7 ii ?**
A: Hi AnaRalu,

The lens is compatible with Sony ILCE-7M2, you can find more info in the following link: http://bit.do/fLvmk. (Copy and paste the link in your browser).

**Q: Will this fit a sony a6000 as i'm a bit confused between this and the sel50f18 e mount which i appreciate is aps-c.**
A: Yes, it will work, but the SEL50f18 will be better for you because it is smaller and features optical stabilisation.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good lens, but loud focusing motor, with lots of chromatic abberation when shooting wide open
*by M***E on 18 April 2024*

Firstly, the build quality of the lens is quite good. It generally looks quite nice, and looks much much better than most canon lenses, especially their 50mm II. The metal casing of the lens feels quite plasticy and the focus ring feels more like plastic than rubber, but it's much higher quality than canons rival 50mm. When shooting at F8, the optics on this lens are amazing! You get a very crisp and very nice image, however, this changes as you go lower. The main draw of this lens is that it is fast, with it's aperture being F1.8 at its widest. Whilst images which are shot at this are fairly sharp, the main problem is the chromatic abberation. It can be extremely noticeable, but is usually able to be hidden using the removal tool in Lightroom. This hasn't majorly impacted me, but I should've expected it from such a cheap lens. The autofocus is also very loud... Overall, I think this is a great lens, especially at its price point, but only giving it four stars, as the chromatic abberation is the worst which I have ever seen on any of my lenses.
