SEL-50F18F

The youngest model in Sony's full-frame fifty-fifty league for mirrorless cameras. The lens has a focal length of 50mm and a fast aperture of f/1.8. You can use it as a regular optics for every day, in the genre of travel photography and even for portrait shooting. By the way, when paired with APS-C cameras, the lens produces an almost standard portrait focal length of 75 mm. The optical design of Sony 50mm f / 1.8 FE is simple - it consists of 6 elements in 5 groups.

Also, the diaphragm design of 7 petals stood out quite ordinary. When shooting, the lens boasts high sharpness from an open aperture and a soft bokeh character. An autofocus drive is installed inside the model, which provides focusing from a minimum distance of 45 cm. The model is assembled in an ascetic plastic case without any frills: there are no focus switching buttons. Near the front lens of a fixed lens there is a thread for filters with a diameter of 49 mm. In addition, the model impresses with its compact dimensions (69x60 mm) and low weight (less than 200 g).

Model overview based on user reviews  
The Sony 50mm f/1.8 FE lens is a budget-friendly option for those seeking a lightweight and compact lens for their Sony E-mount full-frame cameras. It is particularly praised for its sharp image quality and fast autofocus during photography, making it an excellent choice for portrait and still life photography. However, users have noted that the autofocus can be slow and noisy during video shooting, which may not make it ideal for videography. Despite some minor drawbacks like vignetting and the potential for dust due to the moving front lens, it remains a versatile and affordable lens with a decent optical performance, especially for those transitioning from crop sensors to full-frame systems.

A wonderful lens, I believe it should be owned by everyone who has an a6xxx series camera.
15 June 2022 
I bought it a year ago. It's a great lens. It's really an excellent portrait lens and just a versatile lens for almost all life situations. The optical quality is flawless.
Optical quality, autofocus speed, optical stabilization (helped me shoot video without any jitters), price, size.
Vignetting when using a blend, the focus ring in manual mode is electronic and inconvenient for such purposes.

Excellent budget fifty dollars

Copes well with photography. But in video, autofocus is quite slow. Otherwise, a good affordable lens with a decent picture.

The front lens moves when focusing. Theoretically, it can suck up dust.

great model, love it
2 November 2019 
I received it as a bundle with the A7 II, it came as a gift with the purchase.
The cheapest lens in the FF line-up, but it turns out that doesn't mean it's bad.
The first thing worth noting is the sharpness, even at a fully open aperture. Focusing during photography is fast and accurate. I use it for portrait and object photography.
The lens is light and compact, easily fits even in a pocket.
The main downside of the lens that I found is slow focusing during video shooting, you can hear the motor noise in the video. Therefore, I recommend using it only for photography.
An excellent, budget option for portrait photography. Good, sharp image and fast autofocus.
Not worth using for video shooting, slow autofocus
