Optical Design
Flattering 75mm-equivalent focal length helps to isolate subject matter and home in on minute details.
Fast f/1.8 maximum aperture facilitates working in low light conditions and allows shooters to create images with an extremely shallow depth of field.
Rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when employing selective focus techniques.
Image Stabilization and Autofocus
Optical SteadyShot image stabilization helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake for sharper imagery when shooting handheld with slower shutter speeds. This stabilization system can be combined with select camera's sensor-shift type image stabilization for more effective control of camera blur.
An internal focus mechanism contributes to faster, more responsive autofocus, the minimum focus distance of 1.3', and easier handling as the lens does not change in length during use.

I purchased this lens for baby pictures. Being a new grandfather you want to catch the baby’s personality through photos. This lens is exactly what I needed to accomplish that task. The photos are great wide open to stopped down and the colors are good.

i dont understand the term
Focal Length 50mm (35mm Equivalent Focal Length: 75mm)
Asked by: Vses
This lens is a cropped sensor lens, therefore there is a magnification factor associated with this lens relating to a full frame sensor (35mm).

Is there any way to adapt this lens to Panasonic Lumix G5??
Asked by: larry
Not that I am aware of.
Adapting native SLR lenses to Mirrorless cameras takes advantage of the larger mount flange to sensor distances required to accommodate the SLR mirror. In essence they reposition the lens to the same distance from the sensor as on the SLR. This lens is a Sony E mount which is already mirrorless (with a short mount to sensor distance) and so there is no room to fit an adapter unless it also has a corrective lens to allow it to focus on the sensor, which can be done (see the Matabones focal reducers, which effectively 'open' up the aperture) but I'm not aware of any such adapter that is made to fit mirrorless to mirrorless.

question
If it work on alpha??
Asked by: Andy F.
Sony calls everything alpha - so your question does not make sense. Did you mean to say: Does it work on A-mount? or maybe your question is: Does is work on full frame EF-mount such as can be found on A7, A7R etc.? - this lens is E-mount and will not work on A-mount cameras. It will work on the full frame EF-mount cameras in crop mode only, i.e. you get coverage of an APS-C sized sensor - this means that you will get roughly 15 Mpix picture on the 40+Mpix full frame sensor of the A7R II.

What is the best F Stop range when wanting to photograph a 3 to 6 piece band in low light live music situations (I assume glass is not stellar on 100% of lens)?
Asked by: Duane
If you want to have them all in focus , you might want to shoot at around f-8 , if you want to focus lets say in the singer and blur the other members of the band then I found it best to be around f-2.5 depending on the distance to the subject

question
What the different of FE 50mm 1.8 which cost cheap than this? which one better for A6000?
Asked by: Vall V.
The main difference would be the camera mount. The sony E mount and sony FE mount. It looks like the a6000 is an amount camera so unless you have an E to FE adapter you would have to go with the sony E 50mm.
