Sony FE 50mm F2.8 Macro

 

The Sony FE 50mm F2.8 Macro is a compact, sharp macro lens, but its autofocus motor is on the slow side.

Excellent edge to edge sharpness. Minimal distortion. 1:1 magnification. Weather-sealed design. Focus limiter function.

Slow autofocus. Omits optical stabilization. Short working distance.

The Sony FE 50mm F2.8 Macro is a solid, affordable option for full-frame Sony shooters that want a standard-angle prime. Like the cheaper FE 50mm F1.8 it is slow to focus, but enabling the limiter function can ameliorate that issue and the macro optics...

Sony FE 50mm F2.8 Macro Review

 

It is great news that Sony is adding more affordable lenses to its full frame A7 series cameras. However, although the pricing of the FE 50mm F2.8 Macro seems in line with Nikon’s Micro Nikkor 60mm f/2.8 Macro lens, which is generally around £499 and...

Sony DT 16-50mm F2.8 SSM Review

 

The Sony DT 16-50mm F2.8 SSM is an excellent standard zoom lens for Sony A-Mount owners and is particularly well-matched in terms of size and build-quality to the A77 body that we tested it with. Perhaps the only fly in the ointment is an apparent lack...

Sony FE 24-50mm F2.8 G review: a downsized delight or does it come up short?

 

The Sony FE 24-50mm F2.8 G aims to shrink the size of a ‘trinity' standard zoom but something has to give and there's a compromise in telephoto reach.

Compact and lightweight ; Constant f/2.8 aperture ; Refined handling and build ; Relatively limited zoom range ; Needs auto-correction for distortion ; Pricier than Tamron alternatives

Sony 50mm f/2.8 Macro lens

 

The Sony 50mm f/2.8 Macro lens is a compact macro-focus lens that covers the full range from life-size to infinity. "Life size" macro imaging means that the image you capture is the same size as the subject in reality, giving you spectacularly sharp...

Sony FE 24-50mm F/2.8 G review: the right fit

 

Size over function is OK with us

A decent fit with Sony's mirrorless cameras ; Superb sharpness ; Versatile handling for video and photography

Pronounced cat's eye bokeh ; Limited zoom range ; Lens zoom design quirk

Sony's standard zoom FE 24-50mm F2.8 G lens doesn't reach as far as a 24-70mm, but it's a lot smaller, handles superbly for photo and video and costs a lot less than Sony's premium 24-70mm models. It's also optically impressive – sharp even at f/2.8...

Sony FE 50mm f/2.8 1:1 Macro Lens Review

 

John Riley reviews the new Sony FE 50mm f/2.8 1:1 Macro lens for Sony FE cameras.

The 50mm lens is a universally useful optic and the ability to continue to focus right down to life size is very appealing indeed. The Sony FE 50mm f/2.8 macro lens is an excellent performer and a pleasure to use, at a realistic price.

Sony 50 mm f/2.8 Macro

 

A classic fixed focal 50 mm lens is quite a simple optical construction, usually consisting of 5-6 elements. In the case of the1.7/50 model, produced by Minolta, it used to be 6 elements in 5 groups. Unfortunately, the Sony company haven't decided yet...

very good image quality starting up from the maximum relative aperture ; negligible distortion ; well-corrected coma and astigmatism ; exemplary work against bright light ; correct work of autofocus ; good quality of barrel

a bit too high vignetting by f/2.8 ; chromatic aberration at the maximum relative aperture could have been lower
