Sony 50Mm 1.8 Review

[Sony E] Works great with a vintage Zeiss (Voightlander) Ultron 50mm F/1.8 on a Sony A7R5. It also looks like it was made for the camera.

[1/2.7"] Incredibley smooth bokeh! Without a doubt the best at this price. Very sharp, too, capable of outresolving the A7RIV when stepped down. Far better than the Sony 50mm F/1.8. Optically I'd compare this to my Sony ZA 55mm F/1.8! Equally sharp, and even better aberration handling compared to the ZA 55mm. The bokeh from this lens is what's truely special. The optical design seems to be based on the classic Sonnar layout, but with a few extra elements to remove abberations. The end result is you get bokeh that's far better than any vintage SLR lens, completely blowing away every 50mm on any SLR and even DSLR, even Sigma's own Art series. This is possible due to the shorter flange distance on mirrorless cameras, allowing the sonnar design to fit without extending into the mirror box! This is truly a special lens, and the only comparable lens are the GM and ZA Sony lens. Nothing else comes close.

[Autofocus] Good sharpness, build quality, and autofocus is functional. In my opinion, a better value than Sony's 50mm f/1.8.

[Manual Focus] I got this lens as an alternative to switching from Canon to Sony. It's a great portrait lens just as the 50mm 1.8 from Canon was. I really enjoy using it with my Sony a7c and its peaking setting to check I've got my focus where I want it.

[0.3 lb] Just the tweak I needed with my Canon 1.8 50mm lens. Great price too!

[Canon EF] Giving this 5 stars because these do what they are designed to do. I was using these with my 70D 50mm 1.8 & 16-35 II. At first the 13mm tube did not establish a connection to my lens but the rest worked fine. After reconnecting my lens 3 times it worked and works every time. The build is solid and they fit firmly to the body and lens. For just under $50 this is a great buy.

[0.05 lb] I am satisfied with the Fotodiox M39 to Leica M adapter. I'm using it with a Canon 50mm f/1.8 LTM lens and the Ultron 35mm f/1.7 LTM lens on a Bessa R4m Leica M mount camera. The adapter is solid and exhibits no play. Infinity focus is not a problem.

[50mm] I got my 50mm f/1.8 Lens by Yongnuo today and I'm already loving it! Photography is just my hobby, so if you are like me you should get this lens. It's great for night photography and portraits. In addition I'm a little bit into filmmaking and this lens is also very nice for filming, in my opinion. :)

[0.295 lb] I purchased this for my Canon 50mm 1.8. It's not an expensive filter, but it does the job well. I've used Tiffen before and it's a good brand for the cost

[f/22] I've only had this a couple weeks and it's already my favorite lens. I'm using a Canon 60D, and had been using a 50mm 1.8 cheapo..this is obviously a much higher quality lens, and it shows. Oh and I chose free shipping and it still made it to me in two days.
