At a Glance
The 50 mm standard prime for L-Mount and full frame opens to f/1.8, which allows shorter shutter times in low light and a shallow depth of field. It is dust and splash resistant, and focus breathing is suppressed. That makes it a fit for everyday shooting, street photography, dim scenes and video.
