Summary
The Sony 50mm f/2.8 Macro lens is a highly compact macro-focus lens that covers the full zoom range from life-size to infinity.
The "Life size" macro imaging means that the image you capture is the same size as the subject in reality. This gives you spectacularly sharp and detailed photos of insects, flowers, gemstones, postage stamps and other small nature subjects and collectibles.
Mounting the Sony 50mm f/2.8 Macro lens on the Sony Alpha DSLRs provides a 75mm focal length (35mm equivalent) - which means it can also be used as a standard and midrange telephoto lens.
The fast and bright f/2.8 aperture of the Sony 50mm lens allows the lens to be used even in low-light conditions. The end results will still be of high contrast and high-resolution image quality.
The lens comes with a built-in Focus Hold Button, this allows for greater creative control. By pressing the Focus Hold button, when you are in autofocus mode, the manual focus ring will not change.
This compact lens measures 2.8 x 2.36-inches and weighs 10.4 ounces.
