Q: QuestionI have an A6000 would this be good for filming YouTube videos for makeup looks?
Asked by Sonydigital448.
- A:Answer This is really for still portraits. I think a better wide angle auto focus lens would be a better choice. That said as long as you stay in frame this will probably do an admirable job.

Q: Questionis this compatible with Sony a7sii ?
Asked by photoguy123.
- A:Answer It will fit since it is an emount camera. But it is slow and if you are shooting video the quality will not be the best it could be. If I were you I would purchase the Sony Zeiss 55 1.8. That lens will make the most of your full frame camera.

Q: QuestionHi. Would like to know the difference between the Sony 50mm f/1.8 Optical Lens For Sony E-Mount and the Sony - FE 50mm f/1.8 Prime Lens for Sony Alpha E-mount. Also, which one works best with the A6000 camara. Thanks in advance!
Asked by gickybel.
- A:Answer The Sony 50mm f/1.8 has optical image stabilization (OIS) built into the lens. The Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 does not have OIS because it is primarily meant for full-frame Sony cameras that are likely to have in-body image stabilization. Both lenses will work on an a6000 camera but the Sony 50mm f/1.8 (SEL50F18) will work better because the a6000 does not have in-body image stabilization. If you plan on moving to a full-frame camera that has in-body image stabilization--or even upgrade to the Sony a6500, which is the only Sony a6xxx series camera to have in-body image stabilization--then you could purchase the FE 50mm f/1.8 to save some money on the lens.

Q: QuestionWill this work on my sony a390?
Asked by Shelby.
- A:Answer No, not natively. This lens is for a mirror less APS-C sensor camera. You might be able to buy an adapter to convert an e-mount lens (this lens) to an a-mount camera (which the a390 is), but you’d be better off buying a Sony a-mount lens such as the SAL50F14, which will offer better performance and is faster to boot. It’s more expensive, but can be found cheaper. I looked around, but most adapters are a-lens to e-mount camera - as most people want such an adapter to use their lens investments on newer camera bodies, not the other way around.

Q: QuestionWill this lense fit on my sony a7?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Yeah, it will work, but the camera will automatically crop the image (as the lens only will cover part of the sensor). Essentially your giving up resolution. Since you have a full frame, you should just get the SEL50F18F, as it is both cheaper and give you full resolution with proper focal length.

Q: QuestionWould this lens be good for food photos?
Asked by eatthisdish.
- A:Answer Yes but a macro lens would likely yield better results than a fixed prime. Using a tripod gives you the benefit of not needing OSS so a macro or zoom lets you focus/frame your shot without moving the tripod/camera. Assuming you have lighting setup to use a short zoom or macro would be my choice for paid work.

Q: QuestionWould this be a good lens for a small family portrait of no more than 5 people??
Asked by JayTheFather.
- A:Answer It might not be the perfect lens for a group shot. When the 50 mm is on one of the NEX bodies it magnifies the image by 1.5 times. So a 50mm becomes a 75mm instead. That's what would be essentially a short telephoto which is excellent for a single head shot but might cause the photographer to stand a larger distance away from a group of five people. The 16-50 mm zoom kit lens or the 18-55mm zoom might be better options which can be used in the 24 mm range for what would be the equivalent of a 35mm lens.

Q: QuestionDoes this lens zoom in more than the 16-50 mm?
Asked by kay13.
- A:Answer This lens does not zoom in at all, it’s a prime lens with a fixed focal length of 50mm. Keep in mind a crop factor of 1.6 on an apc sensor turns it into an 80mm.
