The size and weight of this lens is a perfect fit for the compact a7 series, thanks to its outstanding portability and grip.

In search of detail


An updated double gauss optical configuration with an aspherical element minimises spherical and coma aberration for crisp, high quality rendering in every image. This design also eliminates field curvature and distortion.

A new DC motor drive system, carefully designed and implemented, optimises focusing speed and accuracy and ensures quiet operation. This system offers the same smoothness for both auto and manual focusing.


Perfect rendering at all times


The large F1.8 maximum aperture and 7-blade circular aperture combine to create a superb bokeh effect in the background to make subjects stand out. An ideal configuration for images with a beautiful sense of depth.

The large F1.8 aperture is an advantage when shooting at night or in dimly lit interiors. Combined with an a-series body with built-in image stabiliser, this lens offers superior quality in low-light conditions.

    Good quality

    Great lens from sony 50mm 1.8 on sony alpha 6000, I can finally do auto focus and it small not bulky, by cons steady shot option for stability, not functional. But excellent choice quality price. I am very happy.
