Pros and cons

According to our camera lens expert

Thanks to the large maximum aperture of f/1.8, you can take bright photos in low-light locations.
With the 50mm focal length, you can take realistic portrait photos.
The autofocus motor focuses silently, so you won’t hear any distracting sounds in your videos.
This lens doesn’t have image stabilization to help reduce motion blur.
The lens isn’t water-resistant, so you can’t take photos in the rain.

Description

Take clear photos in low light with the Sony FE 50mm f/1.8. This camera lens has an f/1.8 aperture. That way, you can capture bright images and get a soft background blur. The fixed 50mm focal length is a good fit for portrait and product photography. This lets you take realistic photos with little distortion. The quiet autofocus motor keeps distracting noise out of your videos. Thanks to the Sony E-mount, this lens fits APS-C and full-frame mirrorless cameras with an E or FE mount.

An all-rounder.

Easy to use
Versatile
light weight

Immediately put the lens on the Sony A7 and photographed various things. The lens is really versatile! Did very well in an Urban situations! Really needs very little light to produce a beautiful record. In short... I am very happy with it!

All in all a nice lens for a nice price.

Beautiful in shallow depth of field
Easy to use
Good price/quality
Focus distance

A fine lens, in many situations. This lens is especially suitable if you want little depth of field in your photos. I do find a disadvantage that the shortest focal distance is 45 cm. As a result, you cannot photograph objects from very close by.

Focusing is a bit slow

I bought this lens because my 85mm f1.8 lens often magnifies just too much, making it difficult to get some things in full view. I don't have this problem with this lens, and can therefore be used very well indoors. The lens itself gives nice sharp photos, and with the f1. 8 aperture a very nice depth of field. For the price, this is a wonderfully good lens. Focusing is a bit slower, but this doesn't bother me. The bokeh is a bit cat eye, but I don't mind that. This lens is very nice to have with you.
