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 Amazon. BHphoto. Adorama. FocusCamera. Calumet Germany. WexUK. Jessops!
