Fun with the 50mm f/1.8 E-Mount lens

[ustein]

Anybody got the 50mm f/1.8 E-Mount lens?

If so, how is it on NEX-7 and 5N?

[TimWright]

Yes I picked one up on saturday. On the NEX7 it seems very good so far. I have only tried a few shots with it but for the price it seems worthwhile.

Mine is arriving on Monday.

Awesome Jaladhi. Let me know how it goes. I've been very curious about this lens since I tend to use my minolta 50mm 1.4 quite a bit and wouldn't mind AF on occasion. Maybe we can do a swap sometime and see how they compare...

Mine just arrived yesterday. Image quality (only a couple of shots) seems very good. I'll need some more time to see if it replaces the 24mm f/1.8 that's always on my 7.

One first shot with 50mm f/1.8:

From Photozone early samples, it looks like there's lots of CA and purple fringing... sigh.

I believe he is referring to these. I haven't had a chance to look at them much, myself, yet. Sony 50mm f/1.8 OSS - photozone's Photos | SmugMug

Thanks.

Uwe: These both look great to me. Nice detail and color. I still haven't processed anything with the 50 f/1.8. They're going to have to re-do that weather resistive barrier.

The lens looks good close to medium range, but landscape sharpness is meh.

Not terrible but not like a contax 45.

I think I can get quite nice results with DxO 7.2.1 (even without the 50mm supported by an own lens module).

Mr Steinmueller, it looks like the 50 1.8 takes a nice picture. What camera are these two photos on? What do you think of this lens?

Regards,
John

[ustein]

These are both from the NEX-5N. The black covers are ISO 2000 and the the other ISO 800 at f/3.5.

I think this is a good lens for the money and using the right processing (we use DxO right now) you can get good detail.

Uwe.....I think you could take a piece of Pyrex and take a good picture with it.
