Overview
Introducing the Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 Prime Lens—a compact and versatile lens that sets the standard for high image quality and stunning bokeh.

Key Features
Small, Light, Bright
Compact and Portable: Weighing just 186 grams and featuring a compact design, this lens is easy to carry and handle. Its lightweight nature makes it an excellent match for compact α7 series bodies, enhancing portability without sacrificing performance.
Versatile Focal Length: On full-frame cameras, it provides a standard 50mm focal length. On APS-C format E-mount bodies, it offers a focal length equivalent to approximately 75mm, making it suitable for a range of photographic applications, from portraits to street photography.
Lifelike Detail and Quality
Advanced Optical Design: The lens features an updated double-gauss optical configuration with an aspherical element to reduce spherical aberration and coma, ensuring sharp and high-quality images. The design also minimizes field curvature and distortion, delivering consistent image quality across the frame.
Dreamy Bokeh
Large Aperture: The f/1.8 maximum aperture allows for stunning background bokeh, enhancing the separation between the subject and the background. The 7-blade circular aperture contributes to a smooth and visually pleasing defocus effect, adding depth and dimension to your images.
Low-Light Performance
Shooting in Dim Conditions: The large f/1.8 aperture is beneficial for shooting in low-light environments, including night scenes and dimly lit interiors. When paired with α series cameras that feature in-body image stabilization, this lens allows for clear, handheld shots without the need for excessively high ISO settings.
Reliable Autofocus
DC Motor Focus: The lens is equipped with a new DC motor drive system, providing precise, fast, and quiet autofocus performance. This system ensures smooth operation for both autofocus and manual focus adjustments. Note that the motor sound may be recorded when shooting videos, but the lens remains a top choice for still photography and silent shooting environments.
Durable Construction
Solid Build: A metal mount adds durability and a touch of sophistication to the lens, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability.
