Abstract: The Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 filled an unfortunate hole in the line-up of Sony E-mount lenses when it was first launched. There have long been very affordable 50mm f/1.8 lenses for Canon and Nikon DSLRs but 50mm lenses for Sony's mirrorless cameras were much pr...
Abstract: For the Sony A7 series, there are not that many really affordable lenses available from Sony themselves. There is a 28-70mm that is not very popular, a 28mm f/2 that is compact and surprisingly good, and now there is 50mm f/1.8. It is one of the least exp...

Sony is working hard to fill gaps in the lens lineup, and until now, an affordable 50mm lens had been sorely lacking. While it's unsurprisingly not in the same class as either the Sony Zeiss 55mm f1.8 or the Zeiss Loxia 50mm f2, its optical performance is...

Low longitudinal chromatic aberration, Imperceptible lateral chromatic aberration, Lack of spherical aberration problems, Negligible distortion, Slight astigmatism, Low vignetting on the APSC sensor, Pleasant outoffocus areas, Quiet autofocus
Image quality near the maximum relative aperture on the edge of the frame could have been a bit better, Huge coma, Significant vignetting on full frame, Slow autofocus, If you turn a blind eye to the build quality, the Sony FE 50 mm f/1.8 might be a very
The results of the Sony FE 50 mm f/1.8 are typical for optically simple 1.8/50 primes. In practice it would be very difficult to find a difference between the performance of the tested lens and that of the Canon EF 50 mm f/1.8 STM or both Nikkors 1.8/50...

The Sony FE 50mm f1.8 is an affordable standard prime lens for Alpha mirrorless cameras. It delivers standard coverage on full-frame bodies making it an ideal walk-around lens, and becomes a short telephoto on APSC bodies, equivalent to 75mm, making it pe...

For the price, the Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 lens is a must have for anyone that owns an E-mount camera. While it focuses slow and produces some vignetting, it also creates nice bokeh and handles low-light well. Read more in our Full Conclusion...
Abstract: What is the Sony FE 50mm f/1.8? It's no secret that the Alpha 7 series of full-frame compact system cameras (CSC) has been a runaway success for Sony. By providing excellent image quality in a package that's smaller and more portable than any comparable f...

Crisp from edge to edge when stopped down, Light and compact, Minimal distortion, Solid construction with included lens hood
Slow focus, Noticeable chromatic aberration, Edge softness and dimmed corners at wide apertures, Omits optical stabilization
The Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 is a budget full-frame 50mm lens for the Alpha mirrorless system. Optics are sound, but its autofocus motor is sluggish...
