Sony FE 50mm f/1.8
The Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 is a small, lightweight, normal-range lens optimized for full-frame Sony E-mount cameras. Key features include:
Good for street and portrait photography
Great for low-light shooting
Fast, accurate autofocus
Seven-blade curved aperture
The Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 is a full-frame E-mount lens designed for the Sony a7-series cameras.
Full-Frame E-mount. As a part of the FE line of lenses, the 50mm f/1.8 is designed to cover the Sony a7-series cameras’ full-frame sensors. Since it’s an E-mount lens, it’s also fully compatible with APS-C NEX cameras.
Normal Range. When used on a full-frame camera, this lens provides a normal range focal length that’s great for street, portrait, and general-purpose photography. With an APS-C sensor camera, you’ll have a short telephoto focal length of about 75mm—perfect for portraiture. The fast f/1.8 aperture is great for low-light shooting and subject-background isolation.
Fast and Discreet Focusing. The FE 50mm features quick and precise autofocus performance that’s even good enough for video work.
Advanced Optics. The FE 50mm f/1.8 uses one aspherical element to reduce spherical aberrations and produce sharp, clear images. A double-gauss configuration reduces distortion and provides more consistent edge-to-edge image quality. The lens’s seven-blade aperture diaphragm gives images smooth out-of-focus areas when you desire a shallow depth of field.

Brennan – Photo Tech
Experience: Multiple rentals.
Take: I really like this lens paired with the Sony FE 28mm f/2 and 85mm f/1.8 for a well-rounded, inexpensive crew of lenses. The 50mm is kind of the “nifty fifty” of the Sony system so take that how you want. It doesn’t have the highest image quality but it’s going to get the job done for most shooters and is a great entry into the Sony system. It’s compact and lightweight which is something I really cherish in this era of massive, super-corrected lenses.
Jenna – Photo Tech
Experience: Weekend rental.
Take: No frills on this one, but it does what it’s supposed to. It’s a nice walk-around lens given its size, and the f/1.8 aperture makes it well suited for most conditions.
