Apart from its speed, the Sony FE 2.5/50 mm G is a classic, high-quality 50 mm.

  • PositiveHigh image quality, robust workmanship as well as an overall comfortable handling and a fair price are among the plus points of the lens.
  • NegativeThe unusual lens hood is not particularly practical in some respects. A conventional solution would have made more sense.

The FE 50 mm F2.5 G delivers high resolution and first-class colour and contrast reproduction. With these test values, it comes close to the top class of Sony lenses, but offers this performance with slightly less speed and at a very attractive price.
