Sony FE 50mm f/2.5 G Lens

The Sony FE 50mm f/2.5 G lens offers a timeless focal length in an exceptionally compact design. As a versatile prime, it excels in capturing portraits, street scenes, and landscapes alike. Part of the G Series, this lens features a refined construction and advanced optics, establishing it as a preferred all-around lens for daily shooting needs.

Matched Set of Compact Primes

Together with the FE 24mm f/2.8 and 40mm f/2.5 G lenses, these three lenses form a cohesive trio with similar styling, image quality, and ergonomics:

• All lenses prioritize a compact profile with an emphasis on intuitive handling; each features a manual aperture ring along with other tactile controls.
• The three lenses share the same 49mm filter ring diameter.
• Matched aluminum finish with stylish focal length and aperture engravings, both aperture and focusing rings, and matching metal lens hoods.

G Lens Series

The lens incorporates two aspherical elements to ensure consistent sharpness throughout the image by minimizing spherical aberrations and distortion. An extra-low dispersion glass element effectively reduces color fringing and chromatic aberrations, enhancing clarity and color accuracy. Additionally, the rounded 7-blade diaphragm delivers smooth, attractive bokeh when using selective focus methods.

Focus Control for Stills and Video

Equipped with two linear motors, this lens ensures swift and precise autofocus, coupled with effective subject tracking for fast-moving scenes. Its quiet AF operation makes it well-suited for cinematic use. The internal focusing mechanism keeps the lens compact, enabling more responsive focus adjustments. Linear Response manual focus control provides a natural handling experience, while an AF/MF switch on the barrel allows convenient toggling between modes. Customizable focus hold buttons offer intuitive tactile control and quick access to chosen functions. With a minimum focusing distance of 31cm in manual focus (35cm in autofocus), it delivers excellent close-up capability and a maximum magnification of 0.21x.

Sleek-but-Robust Design

The lens features a physical aperture ring that can be de-clicked for seamless and silent aperture adjustments, ideal for video work. Compact at 45mm in length and weighing just 176g, it offers excellent portability and compatibility with both full-frame and APS-C cameras. Its dust- and moisture-resistant construction enhances reliability in challenging environments. Additionally, the front element is treated with a fluorine coating, which repels dust, moisture, and fingerprints for easier maintenance.
