Sony 50mm FE macro review by ePhotozine: “excellent performer and a pleasure to use”

ePhotozine tested the new Sony 50mm f/2.8 macro lens and writes:

“There is no doubt that handling is excellent. Focus locks on reliably, the image in the viewfinder or on the monitor is clear and it is a pleasure to enjoy again the simplicity of just having that one standard lens to shoot with.
Sharpness at the centre is simply excellent at all apertures.
Despite only having 7 diaphragm blades, the bokeh is still very pleasing.
The 50mm lens is a universally useful optic and the ability to continue to focus right down to life size is very appealing indeed. The Sony FE 50mm f/2.8 macro lens is an excellent performer and a pleasure to use, at a realistic price.”

The new Sony FE 50mm macro lens is in Stock and shipping for the first time:
