Sony 50mm f/2.8 Macro Lens

The Sony 50mm Macro f/2.8 Lens is a compact macro-focus lens that covers the full range from life-size to infinity. The Sony 50mm Lens provides a 75mm focal length (35mm equivalent), which means it can also be used as a standard and midrange telephoto lens.

Focus Range Limiter
Speeds auto-focus response by limiting the range of distances that are brought into focus – Close-up Range, or Telephoto Range.

Focus Hold Button
For full creative control, a focus hold button located on the lens can lock auto-focusing.

Auto Clutch
In auto-focus mode, the manual focus ring does not rotate - which improves handling ease.

Circular Aperture
Because aperture blades form a near circle at the wide openings used for low-light shots, spot-light sources have a pleasing circular defocused effect.

Sharp Macro Focusing
You can get closer to your subject to capture low-angle shots of insects, flowers and other natural wonders - and broad depth of field lets you keep backgrounds in focus too.

Bright f2.8 Aperture
In conjunction with the Super SteadyShot image stabilization system of the Sony ± (alpha) DSLR-A100 camera, the Sony 50mm f/2.8 captures bright, steady images even working with hand-held camera in low light.

High Contrast and Resolution
Excellent optical precision gives your shots greater visual accuracy for close analysis of your subject.
