SEL-50F18

Interesting bokeh. Image stabilizer. Quiet and fast autofocus. High quality metal case.
Large stroke of the focus ring. Autofocus does not always work correctly in low light conditions.

. Medium-class fixed lens — focal length is 50 mm. Of the features, it is worth noting a good aperture at f / 1.8, a built-in image stabilizer and an aperture with rounded blades (the minimum value is 22). At the same time, the autofocus drive is from a classic motor. Designed for Sony systems with E mounts, standard type of matrix — APS-C.

Everything is relative: interchangeable lenses for cameras from third-party manufacturersLenses from alternative brands: money down the drain or an increase in image quality?

Video reviews

A 50mm prime lens with a maximum aperture of f / 1.8 is ready to offer owners of Sony APS-C mirrorless cameras good features for both portrait and everyday shooting.

Metal

Positive impressions from the lens can be obtained after the first touch to its body — the aluminium alloy pleasantly cools the hand and reliably protects the internal lenses from mechanical influences. Of the controls on the body, only a wide ribbed focus ring is presented. By the way, it has a very large stroke, so when focus manually, the ring will have to be pretty twisted.

Automation

The optical design of the Sony E 50mm f/1.8 OSS has 9 elements in 8 groups, in addition to which, inside the design, there was a place for a linear autofocus drive and a built-in OSS image stabilizer. The autofocus system handles with its tasks very well, only occasionally refusing to quickly focus in low light conditions, and the presence of a stub allows you to increase the minimum shutter speed when shooting handheld without the risk of getting a blur in the photo.

Picture

The lens does not tend to be affected by vignetting, distortion or chromatic aberration. The latter effect appears only in the form of longitudinal XA at the most open aperture and is easily corrected by the camera itself or at the stage of post-processing of the image. But what he manages at a high level is to draw interesting bokeh, which will look especially impressive when shooting evening portraits against the backdrop of street lights.

Detailing

Laudatory reviews about the fix are left not only by its happy owners, but also by numerous specialized resources. For example, when testing a lens by the photozone.de laboratory, its level of sharpness was rated "excellent" at all main aperture values. The greatest detail, as expected, was achieved at f / 4-f / 5.6.

Partner

The low price tag makes the model one of the most attractive options for purchasing as partners with Sony Alpha A6000, Sony Alpha A6300 cameras and NEX family cameras. And the owners of full-frame mirrorless cameras of the Sony Alpha A7 line will have to fit the colleague of the lens in the face of the Sony FE 50mm f / 1.8, which costs even less, but does not have an image stabilization system on its board.
