Sony E 50mm F1.8 OSS Prime Portrait Lens for Sony Mirrorless Cameras - Perfect for Portraits, Low Light Photography & Street Shooting

Sony E 50mm has the remarkable Optical SteadyShot (OSS) image stabilization system that allows users to capture sharp, blur-free images and video with a 4-stop (approx.) shutter speed advantage. Sony E 50mm F1.8 OSS Prime Lens is perfect for portraiture and more, providing a mid-range focal length, brilliant F1.8 max aperture, advanced OSS and superior image quality in a compact and lightweight design. Quick, quiet autofocus and aperture operation make Sony E 50mm an ideal lens for shooting movies as well as stills.

• Circular Aperture
• When changing your aperture to defocus the background, the light sources appear blurred. This ‘bokeh’ effect of the blurred background can be enhanced with circular aperture blades used in this lens. Conventional aperture blades have flat sides creating unappealing polygonal shaped defocused points of light. α lenses overcome this problem through a unique design that keeps the aperture almost perfectly circular from its wide-open setting to when it is closed by 2 stops. Smoother, more natural defocusing can be obtained as a result.
• Lens-based optical image stabilization
• Gyro sensors built into the lens detect even the slightest movement, and the stabilization lens is precisely shifted to counteract any image blur that might occur. The use of precision, quiet linear motors and technology inherited from high-end Sony professional camcorders result in exceptionally quiet, effective image stabilization that contributes to high-quality movies as well as stills.
• Internal focusing
• Only the middle groups of the optical system move to achieve focus, so the overall length of the lens does not change. Other important benefits include fast autofocusing and a short minimum focusing distance. Also, the filter thread at the front of the Sony E 50mm lens does not rotate, which is convenient if you’re using a polarizing filter.
