Product details

The fixed focal length lens has an AF motor for precise manual focussing. The high-speed autofocus with linear motor is ideal for HD video recordings and particularly suitable for portrait photography. Thanks to its high light intensity, it enables outstanding shots, even in low ambient light.

Optical design of the lens:The optical design consists of nine lenses in eight groups. Aspherical elements prevent aberrations, while LD glass lenses and an XR lens with a high refractive index ensure high resolution and optimum contrast. Stepless aperture control: The stepless aperture control enables a smooth and fluid transition from sharp to blurred backgrounds when filming, directing the eye to the main subject.

Insgesamt bietet das Sony eine eher kontrastarme Vorstellung und bei Offenblende ist das Ergebnis ebenfalls mäßig. Gemessen am Preis ist aber das Ganze abgeblendet sehr solide, sodass hier eine Empfehlung ausgesprochen wird.

Mit diesem Objektiv ergänzen Nex-Kamera-Besitzer ihr System sinnvoll um ein gelungenes kurzes Teleobjektiv. Hiermit lassen sich vor allem Portraits oder auch Schnappschüsse in hoher Qualität abbilden, wobei gerade die Bildmitte hervorragende Ergebnisse bietet.

Die Leistungen des SEL50F18 E50 mm F1,8 von Sony übertreffen eindeutig die Werte des Standard-Zoomobjektivs SEL1855 E18-55 mm F3,5-5,6. Die deutlich höhere Lichtstärke dürfte viele Besitzer einer NEX-Kamera zum Kauf bewegen. Kleinere Qualitätseinbußen, die nur unter Testbedingungen auffallen, werden von den elektronischen Hilfen der Kamera kompensiert und führen im alltäglichen Gebrauch zu tadellosen Bildern.
