Description
Small, Light, Bright
A large-aperture 50mm prime lens is a must-have for serious full-frame camera users, and this is an excellent, affordable choice. The optical design is state-of-the-art for high image quality, and the large F1.8 maximum aperture can produce gorgeous background bokeh. On APS-C format E-mount bodies it provides equally high quality with an equivalent focal length of about 75mm.
Lightweight and Compact
Matched with a Sony α7 series body this lens provides outstanding handling and mobility in a compact full-frame system. Lens weight is only 6.56 ounces.
High Resolution
An updated double gauss optical configuration with an aspherical element minimizes spherical aberration and coma for high image quality right out to the image periphery.
Beautiful Bokeh
A large F1.8 maximum aperture and 7-blade circular aperture work together to create beautiful background bokeh that can make subjects stand out in deep, dimensional images.
Great in Low Light
An F1.8 maximum aperture makes it easier to shoot clear night or indoor shots. Combined with in body image stabilization you can even shoot handheld without boosting ISO.
Reliable
A metal mount adds a sophisticated feel as well as solid durability.
Product Features:
- DC motor focus
- Lifelike detail, texture, and gradation
- Shoot at night or in dimly lit interiors
- Mobile and manageable for active shooting

Love it, Value for money and then some
Love it, by far my favourite lens. I am not a pro in anyway
I own the Alpha 5000 (love this camera as well, so easy to use)
I own the 16-50 Kit lens, and the 55-210 Zoom (as well as the 75-300 A mount lens with adapter), along with this fantastic Prime lens.
As much as I enjoy taking photos with the 16-50, this has become my default lens for non zoom projects.
I just love the separation easily achieved, I uploaded a quick shot to demonstrate that.

Sharpest lens in the bag
I am an experienced enthusiast. I have progressed from film slrs thru' both Nikon and Canon sales. I recently changed to a Sony A6000 and bought the 50mm lens.
It is a fantastic lens and is sooooo sharp. I tried a Sony A7r with a Zeiss 55mm f1.8 and really struggled even with major pixel peeking to see any difference. The lens is that good
I carry it around all the time and it has never let me down. OSS is a great help in very low light
I would not hesitate to recommend this lens

My new nifty 50. The Sony 50mm f1.8 oss
My new favourite prime. Sony 50mm f1.8 oss
I like to film footage of different angles, product, backdrops and lighting to try and explore new ideas and with the lens it adds a whole new dimension. It is affordable and solid in the hand. Build quality is good and the bokeh is great for its price. I recommend this lens to anyone as your getting a great prime that makes your portraits pop and gives your videos more definition and great dynamic range considering this is built for Sony’s range of crop sensor cameras.

Fantastic lens, even better at the price!
As a professional photographer using a mixture of Canon and Sony equipment I was a bit sceptical of such a cheap lens, but I thought I had nothing to lose, and I have not being disappointed. Yes the auto focus could be quieter and quicker, but I've only been caught out a handful of times in 6 months, yes there is a bit of CA when a subject is heavily backlit but nothing that Lightroom cannot sort with a single click. I have this lens on the camera almost constantly when I'm out and about with the family, but also find it super light and easy to use when producing commercial video work.

Amazing!
For me this is an essential les for all owners of an e mount compatible camera. Stunning clarity and stabilisation. You will also get amazing depth of field and the lens delivers silent focusing at all times. the best 50mm in terms of pricing and features. Very lovely in its construction and design, feels very sturdy and will last forever. The included lens hood is also a nice bonus.

Very sharp, a bargain at the price.
I've tried this lens out before and liked it so much I bought it straight away (black version). It's lightweight, very sharp and the image quality is great. I've compared images taken on my A6000 and this lens next to images from a full frame camera with equivalent lens and I cannot tell the difference in image quality. Very impressed indeed.

E50mm F1.8
I purchased the 50mm f1.8 as I wanted a fast prime lens that I can use for travel and portrait photography. I am please with the compact size of the Sony lens. The built in optical stabilisation system will aid when shooting in low light conditions. As I have on recently bought this lens I have only used it for some family portraits but was please with the sharpness and clarity of these.
