Sony FE 50mm f/2.5 G Lens

Description

A classic normal focal length prime lens with an compact, lightweight design, the Sony FE 50mm f/2.5 G is characterized by its speed and ultra-compact form factor. The versatile focal length suits shooting everything from street, portraiture, and landscape to documentary subjects, and the fast-maximum aperture is great in low light and at controlling depth of field for beautiful natural bokeh. This is one of Sony’s G Lens primes, offering different focal lengths but the same external look, 49mm filter diameter, compact design, functionality and layout.

They’re compact enough to carry all three so you’re ready for great shots across a range of scenes and subjects, and the similar weight even makes gimbal rebalancing easy. The metal (aluminium) finish of the lens body and hood, plus the engraved focal length and aperture markings emphasize a superb build quality. The ultra-compact lightweight design, the high image quality of the G Lens, the aperture ring and Linear Response MF deliver intuitive operability that makes shooting a pleasure.

The mechanical design takes maximum advantage of state-of-the-art optics with an effective layout of two aspherical lens elements, and the short flange back unique to mirrorless cameras, to realise stunning compactness and a weight of only 174 g (6.2 oz). The lens is ideal for shooting casual outdoor portraits or snaps, or movie shooting with a gimbal. Mobility is delivered by the compact design that matches both full-frame and APS-C bodies.

Two linear motors deliver fast, precise AF with superb tracking performance that maximizes camera body performance to capture decisive moments in street snaps, expression changes in portraits and the like. The fast, precise and quiet AF with superb tracking performance is ideal for shooting movies as well as stills.

Despite its compact size, the lens provides a focus hold button, focus mode switch, aperture ring, aperture click switch and Linear Response MF for intuitive operability and comfortable shooting. The metal (aluminium) exterior finish of the lens body and hood contributes to reliability through increased strength and durability. The design is also dust and moisture resistant, providing reliability in harsh outdoor shooting environments.
