Sony SEL50F18 50mm f/1.8 Lens for Sony E Mount Nex Cameras - Black

Sony's E 50mm f/1.8 OSS Lens (Black) is a powerful prime lens designed for Sony E-mount for NEX.  The 50mm focal length makes this lens ideal for portraiture as well as many other applications. It offers a 35mm equivalent focal length of 75mm.  Sony packed this lens with advanced features that ensure quality optical performance, including its Optical SteadyShot image stabilization.  This lens based optical image stabilization helps to reduce the appearance of camera shake by up to four shutter speed steps.  When paired with the bright f/1.8 aperture this creates stunning imagery even in challenging low-light conditions. There is a linear autofocus motor which is designed into and paired with a stepping motor which ensures silent aperture acutation while capturing video.  In order to facilitate refined control over focus, Direct Manual Focus (DMF) is supported.  This allows for manual fine-tuning of focus when in AF mode to enhance working with selective focus imagery. Also contributing to shallow depth of field applications is a seven-blade circular aperture that provides a smooth quality to out-of-focus backgrounds.  This lens creates a 32° angle of view, a 1.28' minimum focusing distance and accepts 49mm filters.

SteadyShot IN CAMERA IMAGE STABILIZATION
Sony's Alpha DSLR cameras are designed with the SteadyShot Image Stabilization inside the camera body itself.  This means that the lenses that you attach to them don't require the added bulk of a IS system.  The result is a lighter and more streamlined lenses that does not require the added weight of the mechanics. 

DIRECT MANUAL FOCUS (DMF)
Direct Manual Focus enables the user to manually fine-tune the focus while in AF mode.  This allows for enhanced control over selective focus imagery.

STEPPING MOTOR (STM)
The stepping motor (STM) pairs with the newly-designed focusing mechanism in order to fully handle the quick and accurate capture of focus.  This function enables smooth and incredibly quiet continuous auto focusing capabilities while recording video or shooting still images.

INTERNAL FOCUSING (IF)
Sony's Internal Focusing feature allows you to focus a lens without changing its size.  With IF Lenses all optical movement is restricted to the interior of the lens barrel, providing for a lighter, more efficient design.  Faster focusing is produced by a lighter and compact focusing lens group.
  
CIRCULAR APERTURE
The circular aperture of this lens creates pleasing natural Bokeh effects.  While Conventional aperture blades have flat sides creating unappealing polygonal shaped defocused points of light. This lens overcomes this problem through a unique design that keeps the aperture almost perfectly circular from its wide-open setting to when it is closed by 2 stops.
