A wide aperture and powerful autofocus ensure great results from this Sony 50mm f/1.8 camera lens. The f/1.8 aperture ensures this mirrorless camera lens can gather plenty of light when it's fully open, and it also produces beautiful creamy bokeh thanks to the circular aperture blades. When you stop it down, depth of field is increased to create a sharp photo, yet defocused areas still remain pleasantly blurred.When you want to get up close and personal, this Sony 50mm f/1.8 camera lens does the job. It's specifically designed for use with a crop sensor E-mount camera, so it's the 35mm equivalent of a 75mm lens, providing a moderate amount of magnification so that you can take photos of people or buildings with ease. It also has an internal stepping motor that's super-quiet, letting you use this Sony prime lens to create movies without hearing the grind of the autofocus on the audio track.Because it doesn'thave a zoom mechanism, this lens is extremely lightweight, weighing just 7.25 ounces, ensuring it's easy to port around with your mirrorless digital camera. It has nine lens elements comprising glass extra-low dispersion glass and aspherical elements to minimize the effects of ghosting, flare or chromatic aberrations on your photos when you use this Sony 50mm f/1.8 camera lens. Get a quality lens with fixed 50mm mid-range telephoto focal length and f/1.8 aperture. Take advantage of the built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization system which provides around a 4-stop shutter speed advantage, making it significantly easier to achieve crisp, blur-free images and video. Get beautiful, softly blurred backgrounds thanks to the circular aperture of the large maximum aperture of this lens. A linear motor used for focus drive contributes to low-noise focus operation, while a stepping motor built into the lens, technology inherited from Sony's professional camcorders, results in smooth, quiet aperture actuation ideal for recording movies. An elegant aluminum alloy exterior blends beautifully with the graceful design of an E-mount. Use direct Manual Focus (DMF) to go directly to manual focusing after autofocus lock-on without having to switch modes to facilitate focus adjustments on the fly it's perfect for portraits where depth of field may be extremely shallow..

Amazing lens

This is a great budget priced lens with an amazing angle of view, 50mm is close to the way the human eye views and people see things in life. It's a great lens for taking day to day snaps or movie work and other types of photography. This could be used for street photography, portraits and movie work.

Perfect for my needs

Works perfect for my Sony A7ii photography and my Sony a6700 Hybrid camera for my video needs. The smooth autofocus supplements the already awesome autofocus system of the Sony A6700 and top that off the lens has it's own Optical Steady Shot (OSS) makes it even more flawless in my opinion. I couldn't ask for more with this lens ever.

Great lens for non-professionals

This lens provides more light to an already cropped sensor especially during night time. The AF is a lot faster than most stock lenses. Being a 50mm lens, it makes great portrait photos. Already dropped it once and it didn't break or had any problems. (I don't encourage trying it though)

Good first lens.

One month with this and it's proven to be a good first lens. Responsive autofocus, good for my style of non-intrusive street photography and documenting events. Photos are sharp 90% of the time. I however find myself shooting lots of group photos in tight spaces that it makes me feel the need to get a wider lens, like a 35mm or 24mm.
