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.

Great portrait lens for A6400

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.
Exactly what I was looking for

I own a training gym and I was looking for something with a little wider aperture to grab some higher quality photos for my social media and website. I already had a Sony A6000 from a few years ago, but the kit lens isn't really ideal for this application.
The 50mm has been amazing so far and makes me feel like a much better photographer than I actually am. As a guitarist by hobby, I know that buying high quality equipment is a great way to stoke the spark of interest and having low-budget stuff can really squash it.
Would definitely recommend to friends or family!

Would this fit on the alpha a7 camera?
Asked by: Victor H.
The Sony A7 is a E mount camera, so yes...it would fit.It's a full frame lens; can also be mounted on a Sony APS-C (crop sensor.) Just remember it would turn into a 36mm equivalent.

I am using SONY ILCE-QX1 will this lens sports my camera or please suggest Which lens should I purchase ??
Asked by: Bharat
This lens is certainly compatible with your camera and there are many other focal lengths you can use. It just depends on what type of subject matter you are shooting. If you are shooting landscape then a wide angle lens and for portraits the 50mm would be good. You can click on the link below to view your options;

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.
