With its bright maximum aperture of F1.8, the SAL50F18 is ideal for framing and isolating your subject—even when competing with a busy background. Combine the lens with a Sony camera featuring SteadyShot Inside, and you'll achieve smooth, shake-free results when shooting handheld—even with zoom. Instead of a standard polygonal lens hood, this lens has a circular aperture with 7 blades for a more natural, rounded defocus or bokeh. Multiple lens elements made from high-performance optical glass help minimize distortion and aberrations, ensuring you capture sharp and clear images. The built-in Smooth Autofocus Motor (SAM) is noticeably quieter and smoother than traditional camera-mounted autofocus drive systems.

Source: GalaxusDie Festbrennweite Sony SAL 1.8/50 mm DT SAM punktet im Test durch hohe Lichtstärke und tolle Abbildungsleistung zum kleinen Preis. Einzig der Autofokus trifft nicht immer den gewünschten Punkt. Dennoch bietet die Festbrennweite für Vollformat-Alphas viel Leistung fürs Geld.
