Sony 50Mm F 1.8 Lens

[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.

[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.

[43 mm (Front)] I use this on a GH5 and I'm impressed. Sharpness at f.95 looks very good, especially center of frame. I was using the Canon 1.8 STM 50mm with a Viltrox EF-M2 lens adapter, which allowed me to stop down to f1.3, but the image I was getting was fairly soft. Bought this to replace it, albeit a bit wider than the 50mm (1.6x crop w/ Viltrox) but the image looks much sharper. Was also impressed with the build quality. It's a compact lens but it has some weight to it. Feels very sturdy and aperture and focus rings turn smoothly with clickless aperture. All and all, I would definitely recommend for someone that may be a little skeptical because of the price. Oh yeah, the little case it ships in is a nice touch, too.

[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.

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

[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. :)

[L-Mount] I am using the Panasonic Lumix S 50mm f/1.8 Lens along with my Leica M lenses on the Leica SL2s camera and I am very impressed with the quality of the images this lens produces even when used wide open at f1.8! The auto focus is quick and precise and is a great match to the SL2s body in terms of weight and feel. This is an outstanding lens at a very reasonable price and a great entry point for a dedicated lens to use with the Leica SL2 system.

[Aluminum] I lost the lens cap to my Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens and needed a new one so purchased this replacement cap. It fits perfectly!

[4 x 4 x 3.25"] Fits the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens perfect! (great lens, by the way)

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