What to get: Sony 50mmf1.8 OSS or FE50f1.8 or adapter?? - toni-a - 07-11-2018 I am using more and more my A6000, I need a portrait lens, for the moment I am using Helios 58mmf2.0 it's manual focus and not a good performer, my choices: Sony 50mmf1.8 OSS Sony FE 50mmf1.8 I expect it to be better on the borders, however OSS should be handy. Sony to Canon adapter, this way I can use my 50f1.4 85f1.8 and of course the excellent Canon 17-55f2.8 IS In my shoes what would you get ? RE: What to get: Sony 50mmf1.8 OSS or FE50f1.8 or adapter?? - thxbb12 - 07-12-2018 The Sony APS-C lineup sucks so I'd either go for the Zeiss Sonnar T* FE 55mm f/1.8 ZA or the Sony FE 50mm f/1.8. Both are FF but if one day you switch to a FF Alpha body you'll already have a normal lens. The first one is obviously better albeit at a much higher price tag. If you don't mind the slow AF, the 50mm sounds like a good value.

It's like an old Canon EF 50/1.8. Adapting Canon lenses: Just don't. Please. Especially not a 17-55/2.8. I thought you were more into 85mm now. Why don't you just get the Sony 85/1.8? It's quite good. RE: What to get: Sony 50mmf1.8 OSS or FE50f1.8 or adapter?? - toni-a - 07-12-2018 Sony 50f1.8 is for Dany not me, but at the local photography club we often share equipment. Tried it and it's fine. Yes I am more into 85 but Sony version isn't stabilized. So i would go for the 50, it's half price anyway. And I have a deal with wife: For every dollar spent on camera gear, she gets 2$ jewelry..... |
