Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 Lens
The Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 is a classic, lightweight, and highly accessible normal-length prime lens designed natively for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. Balancing an ultra-compact footprint with an impressively bright aperture, this essential “nifty fifty” provides a natural, distortion-free perspective that closely mimics the human eye. It is an ideal walkaround lens for everyday street shooting, candid portraiture, and low-light event photography, offering mirrorless creators a perfect blend of portability, affordability, and high-resolution performance.

CONDITION NOTE
Complete Accessory Package: This lens comes fully equipped for immediate deployment, shipping with standard front and rear lens caps alongside its original dedicated matching plastic lens hood to guard against stray light flare and front-element impacts.

Bright f/1.8 Aperture & Optimized Double-Gauss Optics
Compact f/1.8 Low-Light Design: The fast f/1.8 maximum aperture strikes an ideal balance between light-gathering capability and sleek physical stature. It allows you to utilize faster shutter speeds in dim environments while keeping the overall lens profile exceptionally small and unobtrusive.

Double-Gauss Optical Matrix: Engineered with a traditional double-gauss optical configuration that actively minimizes field curvature and geometric distortions, maintaining uniform, predictable image quality from edge to edge.

Aspherical Lens Element: Incorporates one precision aspherical element within the glass formula to drastically suppress monochromatic aberrations such as astigmatism, coma, and field curvature for improved crispness and contrast.

7-Blade Rounded Diaphragm: Features a rounded seven-blade aperture array, delivering a smooth, soft, and visually pleasing background blur (bokeh) when separating your subject using shallow depth-of-field techniques.

DC Actuator Autofocus & Durable Physical Build
Smooth DC Actuator Motor: Driven by an integrated DC actuator motor that delivers quick, accurate, and quiet autofocus performance, making it well-suited for both high-resolution still photography and casual video applications.

Close-Up Composition Capability: Features a minimum focusing distance of 1.5 feet (45 cm) with a 0.15x maximum magnification ratio, allowing you to comfortably step in closer to capture tight details on nearby subjects.

Rugged Metal Bayonet Mount: Built with a solid, high-precision metal bayonet mount that offers long-term durability, structural rigidity, and a satisfyingly firm connection when snapping the lens onto the camera body.
