Very first review of the new 50mm f/1.8 FE lens by Mobile01: “surprisingly competent performance”.

Share

FE50

The Taiwanese site Mobile01 (google translation here) is the first website publishing a full review of the new Sony 50mm f/1.8 FE lens. They say the lens has a “surprisingly competent performance” on the very demanding high megapixel Sony A7rII. Here are some of their PROS and CONS:

  • Bokeh in the center is good but deteriorates on the corners.
  • It’s not tack sharp wide open but it’s a good performance for the money.
  • It’s prone to purple fringing, flare and ghost
  • fast enough autofocus

The FE 50mm f/1.8 is probably the best bang for the buck FE lens. And it’s set to ship next week at AmazonBHphoto. Adorama. FocusCamera. Calumet Germany. WexUK. Jessops!
