The Sony 50mm f/1.8 Mid-Range Prime Lens ($299.99 direct) is a fast aperture lens that serves as a short telephoto (75mm equivalent) on the APS-C image sensor of Sony NEX cameras .

The Sony E 50mm f/1.8 OSS is a more than welcome addition to the (rather slim) Sony NEX lens lineup. Technically it is not without flaws. It delivers a very sharp center performance but the corners/borders are soft at large apertures. However, considering the typical applications (e.g.

I'm new to this type of lens, but it is awesome for outdoor shots, specifically when taking "targeted" shots. It is easy to adjust the BOCA for professional looking photos. The lens works great in all light conditions.

Bought this lens as a short portrait and landscape lens. It`s very sharp indeed even ad full aperture, which is a fast 1.8. There are some issues with mechanical noise, i brought 1 back to the store which had severe mechanical noise, my current also has some noise but not that bad.

Extremely sharp; well balanced on nex 7; very cheap for the performance,OSS and fast

Inconsistant production quality

Low price, high quality bokkeh, great low light, optically stabilized, shipped fast and feels well built. Fast auto focus works well on my Sony A5100 and A6500 cameras. Take a bit getting used to having to stand back a bit more than the 35mm f1.8 sony but otherwise takes excellent portrait shots...

Excelente para tomar fotos de retratos con el fondo borroso, siempre enfoca bien y rapido, el unico detalle es que podría ser mas pequeño.

Is this lens offered or going to be offered in black? When can we expect more E mount prime lens to be available.

Bad copy, would not focus consistently. Knew these were prone to hunt and search as well as noisy but this one didn't want to find true focus. Returned.

over all I am very happy with this purchase, and its doing exactly what I expected from it.

easy to use

I think the bad autofocus reviews reallyexaggerate. Using eye AF on A7RIII the focus is spot on almost in all shots, and theres almost no hunting. Stopping down the lens a little improves IQ significantly. Im super happy with the results I got mainly from shooting at F2-F2.8.
