  • Overview

    Bright, high performance portrait lens

    E 50mm F1.8 OSS (SEL50F18)

    Perfect for portraiture and a range of other subjects, the F1.8 max aperture and optical image stabilisation provide impressive picture quality, even in low-light.




    Coupled with α E-mount cameras from Sony, APS-C E-mount lenses deliver big camera performance.

     

    Capture smooth, blur-free images

    Built-in Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilisation within the lens ensures smooth, blur-free photos and videos when shooting handheld.

     

    Circular aperture for smooth bokeh

     

    Smooth defocusing

    Instead of a standard polygon-shaped lens aperture, this lens features a 7-blade circular aperture for more natural, rounded defocusing or ‘bokeh’.

     

    Refined optical performance

    The lens has an innovative optical design to achieve clear, high-quality images by effectively minimising distortion and chromatic aberration.

     

    Fast, agile focusing

    An internal focusing mechanism means the lens barrel doesn’t move, enabling a more compact design, faster autofocus response, and reduced minimum focusing distances.
