- Key Specs
- Lens Mount Compatibility: Sony E-Mount
- Lens Type: Standard Prime, Telephoto Prime
- Minimum Focal Length: 50 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
- Maximum Focal Length: 50 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)
- Maximum Aperture: f/1.8 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)

Q: Does this work with the sony A7ii?!! anyone happen to know?
A: It will work but with a caveat. This is not a full frame lens so you get cropping of the image. Meaning it crops all the way around the image and still gives you the central part of the image. You'll have a 1.5x crop factor so the lens will act like a 75mm and bring you closer to the subject. Your camera should default to auto so it automatically crops the image on only uses a smaller portion of the sensor on the camera. The effect is you get a zoomed in image.You can change the menu setting in the A7ii to from auto to full frame to APS-C. You can see the difference in your viewfinder. Just do it with a full frame lens. Leave it on auto when you're done investigating.
Q: Does this lens work with the a5100? And does it come with a cover ?
A: It does work with the a5100 and it comes with a lens hood to prevent glare from the sun and a front and rear cap.

Q: I have 55-210mm & 16-55mm lens for a6000 camara do I still need 50mm/1.8 lens?
