Compact, lightweight, and versatile, the Sony FE 50 mm f/2.8 Macro Lens is a smart accessory for astounding landscape and portrait pictures. It offers a minimum focusing distance of 6.25 inches and a 1:1 magnification rating for taking impressive macro and close-focus shots. The 7-blade circular aperture diaphragm is capable of producing a smooth, gorgeous bokeh on a blurred background. The aspherical lens design has Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements, which are capable of reducing axial chromatic aberrations and offering a superior contrast throughout the entire image, even at close focusing distances and large aperture settings. Furthermore, the focus hold button allows you to lock the focus in the distance you want, for easier recomposing.
