OVERVIEW
The Viltrox 50mm f/1.8 for Sony E-mount is a versatile, full-frame normal prime well-suited for portraits, reportage, and everyday photography. Its fast f/1.8 aperture delivers impressive low-light performance and shallow depth of field, rendering a 75mm-equivalent field of view when paired with APS-C sensor bodies.
Key Features
Precision Optical Construction: Built with 11 elements in 10 groups—including 1 ED, 2 high-transparency, and 2 aspherical elements—to eliminate distortion, spherical aberrations, and color fringing.
HD Nano Multilayer Coating: Minimizes flare and ghosting to maintain rich contrast and accurate color fidelity in bright lighting.
Fast, Quiet STM Autofocus: Features a near-silent stepping motor with internal focusing for quick, accurate AF and full-time manual override without changing lens length.
Tactile Exposure Controls: Equipped with an integrated manual aperture ring that includes an 'A' position for automatic camera-controlled operation.
Upgradable Firmware: Built-in micro-USB port enables convenient lens updates over time.
