Sony FE 50mm f/2.8 Macro

Beautiful photos, provided you have the focus correctly. This lens can do a lot, but I have to play around with it a bit. Probably a matter of inexperience. The price-quality ratio is reasonably favorable for a hobbyist. Especially when you look at the prices of lenses. Consulted the internet beforehand about the pluses and minuses of this lens, because you have to pay a considerable amount in the end. I had to play around with it for a while to get somewhat at home with it. In the analog era macro photos taken by hand. Digitally this is a lot more difficult, perhaps also because of the greater sensitivity. That said, you can get really close to your subject with this lens. You can also just take a snapshot and the autofocus works fine. So easy. However, if you start working macro, your camera will say that the focus is sharp, but the result is not. When shooting macro, it is better to set the lens to manual focus. The camera will then help you with the peak mode and looking for yourself is also a method. It is therefore better to use a tripod, because the smallest movement causes blur. An image stabilizer would be nice, and it is not included here. This is a first impression. I have to experiment further to give a balanced opinion on this lens. So far I am certainly not dissatisfied.

nice compact lens for a large range. Owned and used for over a month now. it really takes some practice with the lens what you can do with it. but once you get the hang of it, the possibilities are almost endless. A tripod is recommended for macro photography, but I still have to buy it. but also without it is really doable. have a steady hand then :-) the weather has not been great that I have been outside with it, but my macro (especially flowers) photos inside have turned out really beautiful (opinions of others) and as a "normal" lens the quality also wonderful. You see all the details of a cat, for example, every hair is sharp and visible. the autofocus is slow and makes some noise. Note that the focal length of the lens is 75mm with an APS-C frame. With full frame this is just 50mm. the bokeh is also great by the way!
