Our take on the SEL50F18/S E 50mm F1.8 OSS E-mount Prime Lens

The Sony E 50mm F1.8 OSS is a compact prime for E-mount cameras, APS-C and full-frame. On APS-C it gives a 75mm-equivalent view that suits portraits; on full-frame it works as a standard 50mm. The bright F1.8 aperture and built-in Optical SteadyShot set it apart from cheaper 50mm primes, which usually lack stabilization. It weighs 202g and takes 49mm filters. Owners praise sharpness, the smooth bokeh and quiet autofocus; the main complaints are slow focus on older bodies and softness wide open at the edges.

Questions and answers

Is this lens for full-frame or APS-C cameras?
It fits any Sony E-mount body. On APS-C it behaves like a 75mm portrait lens; on full-frame it is a standard 50mm.
Does it have image stabilization?
Yes. It has built-in Optical SteadyShot, which helps on bodies without in-body stabilization.
Is it good for video?
Yes. Autofocus and aperture changes are quiet, and the stabilization helps handheld shots.
How close can it focus?
The minimum focus distance is 0.39m (1.28ft), with 0.16x maximum magnification.
What filter size does it take?
It takes 49mm filters. A round bayonet lens hood, the ALC-SH116, is included.
Is it worth it over the cheaper 50mm F1.8?
The OSS stabilization and quieter focus are the main extras. If your camera has in-body stabilization and you shoot mostly stills, the cheaper lens covers similar ground.
