FE 50mm F1.8 Lens


Smooth defocusing The F1.8 maximum aperture opens up a world of beautiful prime-lens bokeh. The large F1.8 maximum aperture is also an advantage when shooting night scenes or in dimly lit interiors. When used with an α series camera body that features in-body image stabilization, even greater low-light capability enables handheld capture of clear images in dark scenes without having to use excessively high ISO sensitivity.	7-blade circular aperture The 7-blade circular aperture maximizes the beauty of large-aperture prime-lens, contributing to impressive images in which the subject stands out against a smoothly defocused background bokeh.	Refined optical performance The lens has an innovative optical design to achieve clear, high-quality images by effectively minimizing distortion and chromatic aberration. A double-gauss configuration effectively suppresses field curvature and distortion, while a precisely placed aspherical element controls spherical aberration and coma for excellent optical characteristics right out to the image periphery. An aspherical element in a new optical design controls all types of aberration (spherical, coma, distortion), rendering the subject with superior sharpness.


Solid Durability Designed for reliability in a wide range of environments, the metal mount adds a sophisticated feel as well as solid durability.	Fast, agile focusing Fast and accurate autofocus is achieved with a newly developed DC motor focus actuator system which drives all lens groups for optimum focus precision and speed as well as quiet operation.

Beautiful and sharp

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2017

Style: Lens onlyVerified Purchase

Incredible lens. Beautiful and sharp! This was my first buy getting the Sony a6000. Keep in mind that with an aps-c sensor this is pretty close to an 85mm. I do lots of portrait so it was perfect for me. Not so great in close tight corners such as indoor photos that are limited to space.

It's extremely light and doesn't feel cheap, the materials are made of a hard plastic but has a great matte feel. You won't have to worry about finger prints, the focus ring is top notch, very smooth and fast auto focus as it is a native lens to Sony.

Works great with A7

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2016

Style: Lens onlyVerified Purchase

Works great with A7. For the price, you can't beat it.

Before you whine about the performance, put the current firmware on both your camera and lens (as of this writing, that would be 3.20 and .2 respectively), and then go into the settings and enable Phase Detect.

AF is fast up to F4, after that the camera needs more time to hunt. For someone like me coming from a Canon 40 2.8 STM w/Commlite adapter, this is not a big deal, and is still way faster than any adapted lens.

Corners are soft and hazy wide-open. In any case, 99.9% of the time your audience is going to marvel at how blurred the background is, while the other .1% is measuring the bokeh balls with a caliper for uniformity. Who cares? It's a portrait lens, for crying out loud. Stop-down if it bothers you. Beyond F5.6, this lens is sharp as nails and produces landscape scenes with stunning detail.

This lens is light-weight. I can see myself traveling with just this lens.

It's a 50mm lens, it produces beautiful images on the A7, and most importantly, it doesn't cost half the price of the A7. Believe me, nobody is going to look at your image shot with this lens and say , "Aha! You didn't shoot this with the $900 Zeiss!".

Auto-focus on this lens is probably the worst of any native FE lens, but it's still a buy

Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2018

Style: Lens onlyVerified Purchase

For the price you really don't have another native lens option. As others have stated the auto-focus on this lens is probably the worst of any native FE mount lens. First it uses a DC motor, so lots of pulsing to focus. Also the motor is fairly audible so not the best choice in video. For the price the image quality is excellent. Bokeh is smooth and non distracting. The lens design is some what of a 'classic' so it is more susceptible to flare than many modern lenses.

I have actually found using this in continuous autofocus increases the usability of the focus greatly. For some reason single focus loves to hunt and give up in low contrast situations when the continuous does a much better job.

Video auto focus is a lot better than you would expect, but I would say it's critical that you have an external mic or you might pick up clicks from the DC motor.

I recently received my A7III with Sony's newest focusing technology and the same issues remain, and the lens is at the latest firmware (3).

because the AF is actually as bad as everyone says it is

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2018

Style: Lens onlyVerified Purchase

I returned this lens, because the AF is actually as bad as everyone says it is.

I compared it directly to my 30+ year old minolta 50mm 1.7 mounted on an LA-EA4 adapter on my A7ii camera. The Minolta focused faster indoors. That is ridiculous. This lens is an embarrassment for Sony. I wish they made something under $500 before stepping up to the Ziess. The 85mm 1.8 is a masterpiece and sells for $600, so Sony just needs to put that focusing tech into a 50.

Meanwhile, if you are looking for a cheap prime, I would recommend the samyang 35mm 2.8. It is super small and only 85 grams, it focuses faster than this lens and is often on sale for about the same price. If you keep the subject centered and can crop, you won't get the same DOF, but with more responsive AF you will have more keepers when trying to keep up with moving subjects or lower light.

Until Sony makes a better version of this lens under $500, I will stick with a pair of 35mm and 85mm FE lenses that can be acquired new, on sale, for about $820. If you need this focal length, the 55mm 1.8 is the only AF option. Otherwise, pick up an older fast manual focus nifty 50 and a cheap adapter, and you will probably have better results than this clunker of a 50mm.

Great Priced Point for a Sony Native Lens for Portrait Photography

Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2017

Style: Lens onlyVerified Purchase

Great performance for a native lens for Sony's full frame E-mounts. I use this mostly for my portrait photography sessions with my models, friends and also promoting products if I don't need a macro lens for it.

Pros:
- Great price point for beginners portrait photography
- Wide aperture for a good shallow depth at F/1.8
- Sharp quality and sustains details
- Fast and native lens
- AF helps a lot on this and its quick

Cons:
- Feels like high quality plastic and some metal

Lens should get better with firmware and Camera Raw updates.

Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2016

Style: Lens onlyVerified Purchase

I may exchange it or wait for a firmware update. Sharp throughout from f4 up, there is a lot of fringing in the corners from 1.8 to f4. I suspect that will get better as we get updates. I will update this once I know more. I am sure that the issues with the AF will get fixed but right now it is not working real well. I own or have owned 6 other Sony FE lenses, but got none on opening day.

Not sure how this is different from the original version as I’ve tried both and they are indistinguishable at least from my perspective. Good lens overall. Overpriced compared to the Canon offering with similar performance. Bokeh is not as smooth as I hoped but it gets the job done.

Underwhelmed

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2019

Style: SEL50F18F/2Verified Purchase

20191230 2333: For over $200, and for only a 50mm prime, well, it just isn't amazing. The picture quality is OK, but I get sharper pictures from my old manual primes. Even compared to my Minolta 50mm AF, it just isn't as sharp.

Physically, it looks and feels much like the kit lens that comes with the a7x cameras. Very light, very plastic. The autofocus is fast, and the eye autofocus works reasonably well on my a7ii.

The f-stop is 1.8, but wide open it doesn't seem to be very sharp. I will, eventually, get around to doing a proper test of the lens, and I will add that to this review. Unlike the old Minolta lens, which does give fantastic shots wide open, this lens is better around f/4 and higher.

It seems, like with most Sony lenses, if you want a good prime, you'll need to drop a grand or more. If clarity really matters, look at the 85mm G Master (but sit down before you look at the price).

Objetivo de 50mm Muy decente, aunque más caro que la competencia.

Reviewed in Spain on July 3, 2017

Style: Lens onlyVerified Purchase

Un buen objetivo con un acabado decente, acorde a su precio.
No es un 50mm f1.8 económico, pero Sony tiene unos precios más altos que la competencia.

Su enfoque a pesar de no ser rapidísimo, si resulta efectivo no errando en apenas ocasiones, si lo comparamos con el sony zeiss 55mm 1.8, resulta más lento, es evidente, pero también es un objetivo que vale menos de la mitad.

En cuanto a nitidez, es casi sobresaliente, francamente bueno, aquí no hay pega alguna, control de las aberraciones bueno, y distorsiones controladas.
En prestaciones (sin contar la velocidad de enfoque) mantiene muy bien el tipo, y un punto por delante de la competencia más económica, es aquí donde justifica su precio.

Conclusiones, si no tienes para ir a por el sony zeiss 55mm 1.8, este es un digno sucesor, siempre que no pretendas hacer fotos muy movidas. Como por ejemplo a niños pequeños o animales (Ojo, se pueden hacer, pero no será tan efectivo). Para retratos es muy bueno, funcionando perfectamente con el detector de caras y con el seguimiento en el ojo. (eye focus tracking).

Esto es una valoración real, no de un producto regalado. Si te ha sido útil por favor indícalo. Si quieres hacerme alguna pregunta, contestaré lo antes posible.

Sehr gutes Objektiv für kleines Geld.

Reviewed in Germany on September 7, 2018

Style: Lens onlyVerified Purchase

Nachdem ich viel und lang darüber nachgedacht habe, ob Zeiss, GM, G habe ich mich aufgrund des wirklich sehr geringen Preises dazu verlocken lassen, dieses Objektiv zu kaufen, ich muss sagen, Hut ab Sony!

Dieses Objektiv hat zwar einen lauten Autofokus, ja, jedoch hat das weder meine Models gestört noch mich, da man in der Zeit des Shootings definitiv mit etwas anderem Beschäftigt ist, als sein Ohr an das Objektiv zu halten. (Es stört auch nicht in der Kirche!)

Zum Fokus muss ich noch sagen, ich weiß nicht, was die Leute mit Ihrem Objektiv machen, dass es nicht automatisch fokussiert, ich habe es ausgiebig getestet und bin zu dem Ergebniss gekommen, dass der Fokus jedesmal gesessen hat auch bei sehr schlechten Lichtverhältnissen, sei es in der Kirche oder im dunklen Draußen.

Dieses Objektiv hat ein wirklich sehr schönes Bokeh, es ist in höherer Blendenregion auch am Rand sehr scharf. Da gibt es von meiner Seite aus nichts zu beanstanden.

Nutze dieses Objektiv sehr gerne als Immerdrauf.

Klare Kaufempfehlung von meiner Seite!

I have found its most responsive in AFC but still good in AFS

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 20, 2018

Style: Lens onlyVerified Purchase

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!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 10, 2019

Style: Lens onlyVerified Purchase

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.

Gute Kostengünstige Optik mit kleinen Schwächen

Reviewed in Germany on September 27, 2018

Style: Lens onlyVerified Purchase

Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist für diese Optik einfach unschlagbar. Ich habe das 50F18F in Verwendung an einer A7ii.

Haptik:
Greift sich wertig an, aber nicht hochwertig. Kunststoff dominiert, welcher aber hochwertig ist. Der Fokusring lässt sich leicht bewegen.

Fokus:
Motor ist definitiv hörbar, stört aber kaum. Ebenso ist er nicht gerade der Schnellste. Im Vergleich zu meinem 24105G/F4 langsam. Wenn er aber trifft, trifft er genau. Problem hierbei stellen eher ungünstige Bedingungen wie Low-Light oder Gegenlicht dar, wo sich der Fokus wirklich schwer tut und auch des Öfteren zu pumpen beginnt. Beim manuellen fokussieren braucht der Motor oftmals eine kleine Gedenkminute bis er starte, wenn jedoch mal in Bewegung reagiert er sehr feinfühlig.

Bildqualität:
Offenblendig ist die Vignettierung deutlich sichtbar, jedoch Softwaretechnisch ohne Probleme korrigierbar. Abblenden auf 2.8 und die Vignette ist nicht mehr sichtbar. CAs hab ich mir nicht angesehen, da ich keine Großformatprints mache. Schärfe ist im Zentrum sehr gut, an den Rändern gut bis sehr gut. Bokeh ist sehr schön und gleichmäßig. Etwas Flair anfällig bei direktem Lichteinfall.

Zusammenfassung:
Für mich zu dem gegebenen Preis (205€) sehr ok aber nicht überragend. Mit den Schwächen kann ich gut leben, da zumeist sowieso manuell fokussiert wird. Ich behalte das Objektiv, werde aber über kurz oder lang noch auf ein 50mm 1.4 umsteigen wenn der Preis passt.

Ordentlicher Focus nach Softwareupdate

Reviewed in Germany on November 3, 2018

Style: Lens onlyVerified Purchase

Ich habe dieses Objektiv zum Filmen angeschafft, allerdings erst seit Sony die Software erneuert hat und mehrere Tests auf Youtube den damit verbesserten Autofokus bestätigten, denn gerade beim Filmen ist das natürlich sehr hilfreich. (mittlerweile V3). Seit dem ist der Focus nicht der schnellste, nicht der leisteste, aber genauso Treffsicher wie bei Highclass-Objektive. Ich gehe davon aus, dass schlechte Bewertungen auf die ältere Objektivsoftware zurück zu führen sind.

Naja an meiner A7III jedenfalls arbeitet das Objektiv gut (Foto, sowie Video), die fehlende Stabilisierung ist ebenfalls zu verschmerzen, da die A7III bereits ordentlich stabilisiert und beim Filmen oft ein Gimbal zum Einsatz kommt. Die Lichtstärke und Schärfe ist für den Preis bombastisch, selbst für 300-600€ wäre sie das.

Wer also ein günstiges B-Roll oder Closeshots-Objektiv sucht und nicht gleich ordentluch investieren will ist dieses Objektiv mit mindestens Softwareversion 2 sicher sehr zu empfehlen, für Video genauso wie für Foto.

Keine Empfehlung 👎

Reviewed in Germany on December 9, 2018

Style: Lens onlyVerified Purchase

Leider keine Empfehlung.
Wie schon einige Andere geschrieben haben, man denkt, so schlimm wirds doch mit dem Autofokus nicht sein wie es in vielen Rezensionen und Reviews gesagt wird.
DOCH, es ist einfach grauslig was Sony hier abliefert!!! Vor allem zu dem viel höreren Preis, wie bei der Konkurrenz .
Der AF pumpt ständig vor sich hin und trifft nur selten wirklich ganz genau, an der 7s II fällt es durch die wenigen Pixel nicht so extrem auf, an der 7r III umso mehr.
Selbst ein Adaptiertes Canon 50mm STM mit dem MC 11 von Sigma ist hier schneller und vor allem treffsicherer.
Sehr schade, ich hatte es gekauft um zusammen mit dem 28mm f2 eine wirklich leichte Kombi von nativen Sony Objektiven für kleine Fototouren zu haben.

The budget nifty fifty

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 18, 2018

Style: Lens onlyVerified Purchase

Being the owner of three Sony e mount cameras this should have been the first in the lens arsenal. Due to the flexibility of the e mount system I have been able to use various other nifties at my disposal. Gimbal use however requires some auto focus and so the basic Sony 50 was purchased. Quite impressed with the autofocus: from subject to subject happens as smoothly as if using manual follow focus. The aperture allows good night shooting. The lens is light but not flimsy so takes some weight off the gimbal but will survive the odd knock. Bokah ooh the bokah ... buttery. Sweet spot is about f2.8 but opening fully to 1.8 still works a treat and gives that arty effect on images when capturing slow mo. Worth a punt but don't expect arri lens performance at this price point.

Sharp Pics but focus not good

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 18, 2019

Style: Lens onlyVerified Purchase

I ended up sending this back, partly because the 50mm format did not suit my style, but mostly because of the autofocus, especially in low light. I wanted a bright lens to easily capture indoor/low light informal pics of pets and people, and realised this is not it. Also, with the focus issue it was not ideal for quick fire street photography.

Plusses are that it takes really great images, especially for portrait - very sharp, little or no distortion, great colour and detail right the way across the frame, almost no purple fringing or other chromatic issues and very little vignetting, I personally like the bokeh on it (some don't|).

Best bang for your buck!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 17, 2019

Style: Lens onlyVerified Purchase

First off I was very sceptical about buying this lens after reading a good range of mixed reviews on it. But after many months doing what I could with the kit lens that came with my a7iii, I went for it and purchased the lens.

After having a good play around with it this weekend, I can safely say it’s worth every penny. With the firmware update on this lens and the a7 body itself, it works great with nice sharp images. Yes, it hunts for focus still from time to time and the motor when focusing isn’t exactly the quietist it could be - but for a £170 lens, can you really complain considering the price of FE options?

Overall, even though I really wanted to buy the 35mm 1.8 (£550) for this camera first, I’m more than happy with this lens and I’ve not had to sell an organ to pay for it :)

Great lens at a great price...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 4, 2018

Takes great photos... yes it's not as well built as the Zeiss 50mm, yes it's not as fast at AF as the Zeiss 50mm, yes it is not as quiet as the Zeiss 50mm, yes it's not "weatherproof" as the Zeiss 50mm and yes the photos area as pitch perfect as the Zeiss 50mm...
But...
This lens is brilliant for the price and the photos it takes. They're sharp, with little distortion (none that I have yet to see), great bokeh and fast enough for my needs.

Surprisingly good wide open but AF remains sluggish

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 7, 2019

Style: Lens onlyVerified Purchase

I use this lens on an original Sony a7 as a pro photographer and also for my family vacations. The lens is well made for its price point and reasonably light and compact. The plastic lens hood is cheap in feel but does the job. Colour rendition is quite neutral. I find the lens to be sharp, even wide open, and I am used to using very expensive glass, so I have high standards. Certainly, on the 24Mp sensor of the a7 it is a great match and provides plenty of resolution. Wide open the bokeh is quite pleasant, if a little busy at times, but in general a step up from the 28-70 a7 kit lens, as is the sharpness. Onion rings are sometimes noticeable on the bokeh balls, so bokeh is not quite as creamy as an expensive fast tele lens would be. A lot has been written about the AF. My lens, obtained direct from Amazon EU S.a.r.l. in 2019, had the latest firmware (.03), which is said to have improved AF somewhat. The lens racks focus back and forth before it locks on, making it OK for static portraits in decent light but not great for street photography, action, kids running around, etc. I use it for static model shoots or architectural details. In low light (and I do not mean black cat in a coal cellar – even in the shade on a sunny day) it can hunt and fail to achieve AF on the a7 – I can’t speak for the a7ii, a7iii etc, but I imagine they will perform better with the lens as they have upgraded AF systems. All in, a useful and good value ‘nifty fifty’ for the e-mount that doesn’t break the bank and delivers good sharpness and bokeh. AF is the achiles heel but if used on static subjects in decent outdoor light, it is not an issue.

Ho acquistato da poco la Sony A7 ii ed in tanti mi hanno consigliato un obiettivo 50 mm fisso...

sono altamente soddisfatto di questo obiettivo perchè veramente luminosissimo!! all'apertura del diaframma F1.8 , fa uno

sfocato pauroso! con una qualità davvero altissima!! ottimo per primi piani a persone / oggetti / o panoramiche in generale...

consiglio assolutamente se state cercando un'obiettivo fisso. ( IMPORTANTE, LENTI SONY...LE MIGLIORI ) 😎

Good value lens with great sharpness and smooth background blur.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 29, 2020

Bought this lens when on offer for £129. I've been uming and arring over whether to get this lens due to some less than stellar reviews but now that I've got it I'm pleasantly surprised at how good the image quality is. I have to admit that my initial impression was not great because the focus noise was quite a shock to me, being so used to all my other silent lenses.

Now that I've used it quite extensively, I've kind of got used to the noise and it doesn't seem so bad outside and the lenses excellent sharpness, even wide open, makes up for it in spades. It has a sturdy build, is very light, and feels good on my A7. For sharpness, bokeh quality and build I'd rate it as 5 stars, for AF speed and noise only 3.

Would definitely recommend it at a sub £200 price point, it's has far better image quality than the mediocre kit zoom.
