Viltrox 50mm f/1.8 Lens for Sony E-Mount
The Viltrox 50mm f/1.8 Lens for Sony E-Mount is designed for full-frame format and offers a versatile normal field of view, making it suitable for a wide array of applications, including portrait photography and reportage. Its fast f/1.8 aperture performs exceptionally well in low-light situations and allows for a shallow depth of field. The optical construction includes one extra-low dispersion element, two high-transmission elements, and two aspheric elements, all aimed at minimizing various aberrations and distortions. Furthermore, an HD Nano multilayer coating has been applied to mitigate flare and ghosting, enhancing contrast in bright and backlit environments.
In addition to its optical features, the lens is equipped with an STM stepping motor that provides fast, nearly silent, and precise autofocus capabilities, along with the option for full-time manual focus override. The internal focusing mechanism also aids in achieving quick performance. Moreover, the lens is fitted with a micro-USB port, allowing for future firmware updates.
- Prime normal-length lens designed for full-frame format. When used on APS-C cameras, it has the equivalent perspective of a 75mm lens.
- Bright f/1.8 maximum aperture suits working in low-light conditions and also affords greater control over depth of field.
- 11 elements in 10 groups
- One extra-low dispersion elements and two high transparency elements reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to achieve a high degree of clarity and color accuracy.
- Two aspheric elements help to control spherical aberrations and reduce distortion in order to realize high sharpness and accurate rendering.
- HD Nano multilayer coating has been applied to individual elements to suppress flare and ghosting for greater contrast and color fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions.
- STM stepping motor enables quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override. The internal focusing design maintains the overall lens length during use for improved handling and quicker response.
- Integrated manual aperture ring for tactile exposure control; this ring also features an 'A' position for automated, camera-based aperture selection.
- Integrated micro-USB port for firmware updates.
