An excellent match for top mirrorless cameras, this lens delivers what it promises in all shooting conditions. Top Three Reasons We Think You Will Love The Lens The broad focal length range of 50mm allows you to experiment with different types of photography.

Sharp and True Imaging The lens features Zeiss’s T coating, which works remarkably well when paired with the impressive optical design of the lens. This coating suppresses internal reflections for sublime contrasts from highlights to deep blacks. When it comes to sharpness of imagery, this lens from Sony easily outperforms its counterparts from Canon and Nikon.

The lens offers an equivalent focal length of 55mm, along with an aperture range spanning from f/1.8 to f/22.The sharpness of the lens is particularly excellent from f/2.8 to f/5.6, where the output delivered is simply stunning. It also offers a 0.14x magnification, and the minimum focus distance is 50cm. Fast Autofocus The lens features a linear autofocus motor that focuses internally, making minimal noise.

The focus speed of the lens is fantastic. The inherent qualities of the lens are further optimized when it is paired with cameras such as Sony Alpha A7III. The accuracy of the focusing system is perfect for static objects, and it offers detailed accuracy in low light conditions.

The nine-blade circular aperture of the lens further enhances the image quality, with a subtle and soft bokeh.
