Compact 50 mm f/1.8 E-mount lens

The Sony SEL50F18 is a fixed focal-length lens for Sony E-mount cameras. It offers a 50 mm focal length with a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture and built-in Optical SteadyShot stabilisation. Weighing 202 g and measuring 62 x 62 mm, it is designed for everyday shooting and video work.

Build integration and handling

The lens mounts directly on any Sony E-mount body without an adapter. Its 49 mm filter thread accepts standard circular filters and the metal mount ensures a secure fit. Internal stepping motor drives fast, quiet autofocus while Direct Manual Focus allows instant manual override. Optical SteadyShot frees the photographer from relying solely on in-body stabilisation for handheld stills and movies.

Suited to portrait and low-light users.

The 75 mm equivalent field of view suits portrait, street and low-light photography where shallow depth of field is desired. Minimum focus distance of 0.39 m and 0.16x magnification limit close-up work. Photographers needing wider angles, higher magnification or weather sealing should consider other options.
