Yongnuo YN 50mm f/1.8 Lens for Sony E Mount Cameras

Yongnuo YN 50mm f/1.8 Lens for Sony E Mount Cameras is an Autofocus lens designed for Sony APS-C models, giving the equivalent focal length of 75mm. It features digital stepping motor (DSM) which guarantees fast, quiet and accurate autofocus performance. Yongnuo designed this lens for both photo and video makers. It is an excellent alternative to much more expensive Sony E 50mm f/1.8 OSS Lens which costs 3 times more.

Yongnuo YN50mm F1.8S DA DSM lens for Sony APS-C E-mount cameras features eight elements in seven groups, one of which is a low dispersion glass element. The lens has a bright maximum aperture of f/1.8 and closes down to f/16. The lens is very compact and lightweight with just 58 mm (2.3 in) length and 146 g weight. It’s closest focusing distance is 0.45 m (~1.5 ft).

Yongnuo 50mm 1.8 Lens for Sony uses 8 optical elements arranged in 7 groups, including one low dispersion element to try and cut down on aberration and distortion, 7 aperture blades, gold-plated contacts and a metal mount. The lens features a USB port that lets you update the lens’ firmware without any additional dock. Its great performance and low price makes it an extremely affordable addition to every Sony shooter’s kit.

There are many reasons why you should buy fast 50mm prime lens:

• Great for low light photography – with the wide aperture of f/1.8, especially going from your typical kit lens which is usually f/5.6, this lens gives you 3 stops or EIGHT times (2x2x2) more light coming through the lens opening. This allows you to use either a faster shutter speed and avoid camera shake, or a lower ISO and avoid the noise you get from higher ISOs, or a combination of both.
• Great value, low cost – at a price of approximately $100 it might be the best choice for the first lens investment
• Light weight – with a weight of only 146 grams there is no reason to leave this lens at home. That means even when you don’t want to haul a whole bag full of stuff around, you can easily grab your camera and the Nifty Fifty and go. No excuses!
• Killer bokeh – prime lenses typically produce nicer bokeh (how the lens renders out of focus areas) than most zooms, and with the f1.8 aperture you can make some really nice bokeh. Bright lights, off in the background, twinkle with this little lens!
• Sharpness – prime or fixed focal length lenses are usually inherently sharper than zoom lenses, partly due to there being less moving parts inside the lens, and less lens elements. You will also experience increased sharpness due to the wider aperture which allows, as We mentioned above, being able to shoot at faster shutter speeds and lower ISO. Being able to get a fast enough shutter speed to eliminate camera shake, or freeze a moving subject has a lot to do with getting sharper images as does minimizing noise.
• It’s versatile – the 50mm lens is a great street shooting lens, not too wide, not too long. On a cropped or APS-C sensor (any non full frame camera body) it is also a great portrait lens, just long enough to remove distortion from your subject’s face and flatter them a bit more, not so long you need to stand across the street.
• Great for traveling – because it’s light weight, and is a fast lens (big aperture f/1.8) the 50mm is a great addition to your bag for trips. 50mm f1.8 fills the bill for low light photograph that the other zoom lenses can’t because of their aperture limitations. Plus it weighs practically nothing, you don’t even know it’s in there.
