A perfect macro prime for everyday use
This versatile 50 mm normal macro prime lens for full-frame
sensors is ideal for everyday photography as well as capturing
impressive 1:1 macro images. You can get as close as 16 centimeters
from the subject while the normal angle of view makes it possible
to include background elements for added creative freedom. Controls
and operation are optimized for easy, efficient close-up
shooting.
Get close for spectacular macro
Focus as close as 16 centimeters with 1:1 macro capability. Shoot
subjects without having to move the camera back to find a usable
distance. A great lens for everyday situations.
Excellent image-wide sharpness and bokeh
A high-performance optical design that includes an ED glass element
minimizes chromatic aberration, even when shooting close,
contributing to outstanding corner-to-corner sharpness.
Out-of-focus backgrounds are beautiful too, with a circular
aperture mechanism helping to produce smooth, natural-looking bokeh
that can make your subjects stand out.
Compact, lightweight design
Max. 70.8 mm diameter and 71 mm length with a total weight of only
236 grams 8.4 oz for outstanding mobility and easy handling. This

choice for everyday use.
Magnification and distance scales
Magnification and distance scales enhance convenience with precise
numeric indications that can be an important aid in achieving the
desired magnification and focus for macro photography.
Comprehensive control for easy macro
A focus-mode switch can be used to quickly switch between manual
and auto focus, adapting easily to any macro opportunities that
arise. A focus-range limiter sets the lens's focus range for the
fastest possible AF operation, and a focus-hold button freezes
focus wherever it is pressed for controlled, stable shooting.
For snapshots as well as macro
The lens's normal 50 mm focal length makes it ideal for shooting
scenery and portraits as well as close-up subjects. An aspherical
element carefully compensates for field curvature, maintaining top
image quality from image center to periphery.
Reliable in challenging conditions
A sealed dust and moisture resistant design provides extra
protection and ensures reliable operation in challenging
environments. Shoot with confidence in light rain or windy
conditions.
Lens Configuration
Impressive optical performance for Sony cameras, precision
engineered for versatility and reliability in a wide range of
applications.
MTF Chart
MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) describes how well a lens can
reproduce fine details, measured as the degree of contrast achieved
between finely spaced lines.
