Sony FE 50mm F1.8 Compact Lightweight E Mount Lens with Beautiful Dedofusing Bokeh Compatible with Full Frame and APS C Camera SEL50F18F, Black, Lens Only

I was having SOny 24-70 F2.8 GM2 lens. It was weighing a ton..so heavy. I wanted something very lightweight & should give me sharp & excellent quality images. Since Sony FE 50mm lens is inexpensive, I thought it wont be good enough. Bought it out of curiosity. After using it for 1 month, I can say this is an excellent lens. Its super duper light weight. Boque effect is amazing and pictures and sharp. But 24-70 lens was more sharp I feel. Its overall a great lens.

Great lens and great price, love it

I like the lens but AF not good at all, it's pretty much useless. I'll use it with MF with focus pull. Don't buy it if you want to use it for AF.

العدسة جميلة، لكن الإشكال يكمن في الوصف الذي يقدمه البائع، فأنا عندما اشتريت العدسة اعتقدت أنها فعلا 50مم ذات الإطار الكامل كما هو في الوصف، لكن عندما فتحت العدسة وجدت أنها فقط 35مم إطار وكامل و 50 تشتغل مع APS، لذا قمت بإرجاع السلعة لأنني أبحث عن 50مم إطار كامل، لكن بالنسبة للذين لديهم كاميرا APS فهذه العدسة جميلة بالنسبة لهم وحتى بالنسبة للذين لديهم كاميرا Full frame ويريدون عدسة 35 مم فأنا انصحهم بها فهي جميلة وصغيرة الحجم وسريعة التركيز...

Good with full frame Sony camera 👌👌

Best for portrait photography

Legit and fast delivery!

Well, the main issue I have with this lens is how slow it is. It keeps clicking even if it’s locked on. It doesn’t seem to comprehend it has secured a focus. Very weird! One more thing I hate about this the build quality. Of course I understand that when I pay 700 AED for a lens that it would be built well, but I draw the line at the mount part! The metal-colored mount ring is actually made of plastic!!!! How expensive it would have cost Sony to just make that part metal? And if it had made a decision to make with plastic, why does it make it as if it is metal??

The Sony 50mm f/1.8 lens is an excellent choice for beginners and enthusiasts. Its wide aperture delivers great bokeh and good details, ideal for portraits and low-light shots. Compact and lightweight, it’s easy to carry around. Autofocus could be faster, but overall, it’s incredible value for the price!

He estado probando el Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 durante varias semanas, sobre todo en interiores (bibliotecas, salas de estudio y espacios con luz controlada), y la verdad es que me ha sorprendido muy positivamente. Lo primero que destaca es su calidad de imagen. A pesar de ser un objetivo bastante asequible dentro del sistema full frame de Sony, ofrece una nitidez muy buena, especialmente en el centro, incluso a aperturas amplias. Para retratos o detalles en interiores, cumple perfectamente. En condiciones de poca luz, como en bibliotecas, se comporta muy bien gracias a su apertura f/1.8. Permite mantener ISOs relativamente bajos y obtener imágenes limpias, con un desenfoque de fondo agradable y natural. El enfoque automático es correcto para fotografía tranquila. No es el más rápido del mercado, pero para uso general, retrato o escenas estáticas funciona sin problema. Eso sí, el motor de enfoque es algo ruidoso, especialmente en entornos silenciosos, aunque no afecta a la calidad final de las fotos. Además, es un objetivo ligero y cómodo, ideal para llevarlo montado sin que pese demasiado, algo que se agradece en sesiones largas. En resumen, es una opción muy recomendable si buscas un 50mm económico, luminoso y con buena calidad óptica. Perfecto para interiores, retrato y fotografía cotidiana con resultados más que satisfactorios. Si quieres un buen objetivo, por un precio razonable, puedes adquirirlo sin miedo.

I have a confession. I am a bonafide pixel peeper. It’s a problem and I know it. Nothing gets me more excited about photography than to snap a picture and immediately review it, zoom it in 100% and see a sharp, clear image. I wouldn’t call it an obsession but the hunt for equipment that can deliver these type of results has cost me a lot of time and money. People always say to spend more $ on the glass and less $ on the body, well I tried that. I recently bought a Sony A6500 and instead of buying several cheap lenses I bought one really good one. The beloved SEL24F18z. Don’t get me wrong, that lens and body combo is really sweet but after trying it out for a few weeks I ended up returning both. The images were nice but zoomed in at 100% they weren’t $2300 nice. So I did some more research and decided to go in the opposite direction. Expensive body, cheap lens. For the same price of the A6500 and the Zeiss 24mm I got an A7rii (Amazon Warehouse used like new) and this “cheap” lens and I’m telling you the difference is night and day. I’ve never seen images this sharp. Every picture I take with this setup looks professional (which I’m definitely not). I was concerned that the high megapixel sensor would show this lens’ weaknesses but quite the contrary. I will say for optimum sharpness to keep it stopped down to at least f2.8. As with most lenses, wide open is pretty soft. Even the Zeiss 24 was soft at 1.8. Quick Tip: Update your camera body AND the lens As soon as I put this lens on and started using it I noticed some very sporadic focus hunting going on. It wouldn’t lock onto anything at all. The short time I had with the Zeiss 24 kind of got me spoiled with ridiculously fast auto focus. So I knew something was wrong. I plugged the camera into my computer and checked for updates. Both the body and lens were one version behind current. As soon as I updated them it was smooth sailing. Well smooth might be an overstatement. This lens is quirky. In good lightning it works perfectly. A little jerky but locks on. But in low light/low contrast it’s another story. It still hunts and is very hit or miss. For the price and image quality I’m willing to overlook poor low light focusing performance. Bottom Line. If you’re like me and scrounged up your last pennies to get the expensive body and are looking for a budget lens that has image quality over focus performance, this is it.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unschlagbares Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis! Der absolute Must-Have-Klassiker Wer ins Sony-E-Mount-System einsteigt – egal ob im Hobbybereich oder als Profi –, kommt an der 50mm-Festbrennweite eigentlich nicht vorbei. Ich nutze das Objektiv nun schon eine ganze Weile und es ist zu meinem absoluten "Immer-Drauf"-Objektive für Porträts, Street- und Alltagshintergründe geworden. **Bildqualität und Bokeh:** Für diesen Preis ist die optische Leistung einfach überragend. Bereits bei Offenblende von f/1.8 ist das Zentrum angenehm scharf, leicht abgeblendet wird es knackscharf. Was mich aber jedes Mal aufs Neue begeistert, ist das wunderschöne, weiche Bokeh. Der Hintergrund verschwimmt traumhaft, wodurch sich Motive oder Personen perfekt isolieren lassen. Für Porträts ist der Look einfach genial. **Autofokus und Handhabung:** An den neueren Sony-Kameras arbeitet der Autofokus (inklusive Augen-AF) extrem präzise und zuverlässig. Das Objektiv ist zudem federleicht und sehr kompakt. Man kann die Kamera stundenlang um den Hals tragen oder auf Reisen im Rucksack dabei haben, ohne dass es zur Last wird. **Hier meine Pro & Kontras auf einen Blick:** ➕ **Pro:** * **Traumhaftes Bokeh:** Perfekte Freistellung für Porträts dank Lichtstärke f/1.8. * **Hervorragende Schärfe:** Schon bei Offenblende gut, ab f/2.8 absolut knackscharf. * **Leicht und kompakt:** Ideales Immer-Drauf- und Reiseobjektiv. * **Preis-Leistung:** Der wohl günstigste Einstieg in die Welt der professionellen Festbrennweiten bei Sony. ➖ **Kontra:** * Der Autofokus-Motor ist nicht der leiseste auf dem Markt. Für reine Videografen, die den internen Ton der Kamera nutzen, könnte das minimale Surren beim Fokussieren stören (für Fotografen aber absolut irrelevant). * Das Gehäuse besteht hauptsächlich aus Kunststoff, was dem Gewicht zugutekommt, sich aber natürlich nicht ganz so extrem hochwertig anfühlt wie die teuren G-Master-Linsen. **Fazit:** Es gibt kein anderes Sony-Objektiv, das für so wenig Geld so viel Bildqualität liefert. Es macht einfach süchtig, mit der geringen Tiefenschärfe zu spielen. Wer ein Upgrade zum klassischen Kit-Objektiv sucht, muss hier einfach zugreifen. Volle 5 Sterne!

I ordered a used lens and it's as new. If you have a good lighting setup, this is a great lens for portraits.
