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 ...
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.

Is this a wide angle lens?
Asked by: KimmY
If by wide you mean "fish eye" not it is not. It is not a full frame lens so I decided to sell mine. Need a full frame lens for video

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
is this lens compatible with the a6000?
Asked by: Anonymous
As the Sony Alpha a6000 Mirrorless Digital Camera uses the Sony E-mount lens mount, yes, the Sony E 50mm f/1.8 OSS Lens (Black) would be fully compatible for use with the Sony Alpha a6000 Mirrorless Digital Camera.

question
What the different of FE 50mm 1.8 which cost cheap than this? which one better for A6000?
Asked by: Vall V.
The E lens is for an APC Sensor like the one found in the A6000. The FE needs an adaptor since it is a different type of mount for a full frame film camera (35mm) or full frame digital sensor. Both will give you the same result. Honestly though, the E 50mm f1.8 OSS lens is the best bang for the buck of any of the myriad of lenses I use on my 5T and 6. Fantastic lens for the price.
