Review on πŸ’Ž Sony E 50mm F1.8 OSS Portrait Lens (SEL50F18/B) Review: A Black Gem for Captivating Portraits by Pornthip Pornthip ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

The presence of a stub makes this glass unique. Night, bars and concerts are his element, you can shoot hand-held at 1/10. I also want to note the bokeh, which is soft, unlike Nikon's D-fifties, and at the same time with character, unlike Nikon's G-fifties. It is very reminiscent of the blur in Minolta 50mm 1.7, while you can cover the hole up to 2.8 - the nuts start only from 3.2. Good glass, I recommend.

Pros
  • Optical stub, sharpness, autofocus accuracy, beautiful bokeh, metal body,
Cons
  • Long length, the design is ugly in my opinion, they could have done at least in black. On my copy, the aperture hole is uneven if you cover already 5.6, it’s also a pity that there are not 9 petals. Someone complains about soapy corners up to f / 4, but so far I have only shot portraits and in the corners I needed blur on the contrary :)

With its pros. excellent sharpness at a fully open aperture of 1.8 . beautiful bokeh, very quiet operation Some cons: just like all half-lengths, it often smears - it is corrected by setting the central focus point, XA are the same as on half-tones 1,8 and 1,4 from a DSLR

I have the ability to compare only with a whale lens and a Helios 44 lens. Used in conjunction with Sony Alpha 5100
