Sony FE 50mm f/2.5 G -objektiivi

Although I own the superlative 50mm f1.4 GM lens, I find myself using the 50mm f2.5 G more as its its IQ is so good (and I rarely need f1.4, but it's nice to have that option for certain assignments). The 50mm f2.5G makes a great street and travel lens, even for landscapes too, especially when paired with my A7Cii and, usefully, takes excellent portraits also. Thanks to the high mega pixel count of the A7Cii, using the camera's APSC crop facility (which I have operated to conveniently come on and off via the lens focus hold button), I can turn this 50mm lens into a 75mm lens for close-up portraits with additional background blur (bokeh). When photographing young children being natural, using more compact lenses like this is less intrusive for catching unexpected moments in time. Thanks Sony for producing such brilliant lenses for your cameras!

Perfect holiday lens light and compact, pin sharp, great prime lens.

Love the size and build quality and LOVE the fact that it has an aperture ring as function buttons

This tiny, lightweight lens has been an excellent alternative to my relatively large and heavy 24-105 f/4 zoom lens when the fixed focal length is not limitation. To date I have only used it at its maximum aperture of f/2.5, but the results have been extremely sharp and with perfect auto-focus accuracy.

I bought it a month ago, and love it. it gives me incredibly sharp photos with nice details. I highly recommend it for portrait and food photography.

There is a weakness: The Eye-Start AF option doesn't work with this lens in APS-C cameras.
