The new, super-bright 50mm lens from Sony is now at our rental. Long awaited in the Sony ecosystem, it features outstanding autofocus, beautiful bokeh, and is excellent in every regard.
Key features:
super bright — f/1.2
focuses as close as 40 cm
Sony FE mount — covers full frame
compact size and weight — 778 g
dust- and moisture-resistant construction
72mm filter thread
XA (extreme aspherical) lens elements deliver extraordinary resolution and contrast across the entire frame
workflow is aided by two focus-hold buttons (whose function can be reassigned in the camera menu), a focus mode switch, focus and aperture rings, an aperture click switch, and more. The Linear Response MF system provides linear focus ring response during manual focusing.
We make no secret of the fact that we are fans of the 50mm focal length, and the new Sony lens completes our 50mm collection, which consists of:
Leica Summilux 50mm f/1.4 ASPH (Sony FE and Leica M) — classic and unique character
Zeiss Planar FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA (Sony FE) — a blend of classic look with modern rendering quality and outstanding sharpness
