Pros: Lightweight, small size, minimum focusing distance less than stated, overall excellent lens

Cons: Slow AF, especially at close range, noisy

Opinion: Objective purchased by chance because of the excellent price to which it was proposed to me, it proved to be very useful for my needs. The lens is excellent, free of flare, AC and distortion, vignetting practically absent already at TA. Extremely sharp, it provides files rich in detail. The body is made of metal, but the lens remains light (about two ounces) and small. The weak point of this lens is the AF, in general quite slow especially at close range. In that case to be used only with immobile subjects and identifying the specific area to be focused. Overall I am extremely satisfied and unexpectedly it is the lens I am using the most, very versatile and manageable. The alternative for the same price on the new is the Sigma 70mm Macro, which weighs three times and is much more bulky. Excellent purchase opportunities on used cars, where this lens, perhaps little known and considered, is at very attractive prices. If weaknesses are not a problem, I can only recommend it, it is a best buy.

Pros: Great overall performance.

Cons: AF slow and noisy.

Opinion: Very excellent optics and generally undervalued. Excellent 2.8 resolution across the field and at all distances. Very little AC, low distortion, and good resistance to flare. Personally, I think it is at 55 1.8 Zeiss level but with less AC and a worse AF. Always noisy because of the type of engine adopted. AF acceptable for generic and landscape photos, from 1m to infinity. For shorter distances AF slow but precise. Light and compact and propati at a fair price.

Pros: Pro; Definition very good already at TA and improves to f8 / 11 on Sony A7, good maneuverability, I find the weight just right and well balanced, comfortable the large MF ring, compactness and transportability and .. external metal barrel! Rn

Cons: Against: AF a little slow, the scooter feels as it looks for fire. In macro the AF is useless.rn

Opinion: The FE 50mm F2.8 is crisp on the entire frame from f2.8 (to be flip-flops is slightly + defined in the center) but the thing improves by closing a couple of stops. Being native to the A7 series, unrecognized vignetting and distortion, obviously the camera corrects them well. Rn Have a good contrast (maybe too in some cases, can it be?) Blur I like very much and the picture is beautiful brilliant, the colors I feel natural, everything is very enjoyable. It holds the backlight, (tested in full sun, in the top, right), and is well visible on the scale of the reproduction ratio, the MF ring is well handleable, although it needs to be rotated a little to focus, unlike the helix, but, limiting myself to photographing subjects slow and / or firm, it does not disturb. Turning the car on again, the lens returns to focus at the same point. Well found useful! RnWhat "normal 50 / 2.8" meets almost all my needs, I use it mainly in daytime, in case of scarsto light me the game with the ISO, up to 800 still holds good, in the sense that I do not see grain and / or artifacts. I've tried to "croak" 200% and ... surprise, the detail is still, I dare say, nice. Finally, (and not even so much) is really usable, because the unit, A7 + FE 50 is very compact and lightweight, I really wear it for hours without suffering, even in MTB hanging around the neck. Hard work with the Micro Nikkor 105mm / 2.8 previously tested On the Nikon D200. It's a niche optic but for niche people it's ... it's worth all the money spent.nn Take it into consideration Rating 9.6rnrnPS: I would have a slight disappointment to do on the electronic "by wire" focus: Why do not I find the exact point of fire? Or I find it a bit earlier or an instant later! But no! It's a matter of a few millimeters, but in a macro also a millimeter counts. I suspect that the motorcycle step, step, misses an intermediate step. Or maybe it's missingto me the "step" broken image of the Reflex Viewfinder? rn With the Reflex Nikon D200 and the Nikkor 55mm F2.8 micro, this helicopter did not happen. rnTake a quick look
