Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 Lens

Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 Prime Lens
Compact Full-Frame Normal-Length Prime for Sony E-Mount – Bright f/1.8 Maximum Aperture, Double-Gauss Optical Design with 1 Aspherical Element, DC Actuator Autofocus Motor, 7-Blade Circular Diaphragm, Durable Metal Bayonet Mount, Includes Front Cap, Rear Cap & Dedicated Lens Hood (Excellent Condition)

The Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 is an ultra-lightweight, versatile standard prime lens designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras (also compatible with APS-C bodies, where it provides a 75mm equivalent portrait focal length). Combining a compact form factor with a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture, it excels in low-light environments and delivers shallow depth-of-field control for portraiture, street photography, and everyday walk-around shooting.

Its optical formula utilizes a classic double-gauss design with 6 elements in 5 groups, incorporating one precision aspherical element to correct spherical aberrations, field curvature, and coma for sharp edge-to-edge rendering. A rounded 7-blade aperture creates smooth, natural background bokeh. Autofocus is powered by a fast, quiet DC actuator motor suitable for both still photography and video recording, housed within a durable chassis featuring a solid metal bayonet mount.
