A versatile, multi-purpose lens

with a focal length of 52.5mm (35mm equivalency) and F1.8 aperture, it’s good for snapshots, portraits, night shots and more

Compact and easy to carry

lightweight and only around 45mm long, it’s an ideal second lens for when you’re out and about

Crisper, cleaner results

new optical design reduces spherical aberration and improves contrast even out on the periphery for crisp, sharp image detail

Built-in image stabilisation

Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilisation and a large F1.8 aperture enhance handheld shooting in fading light or dimly lit interiors

Smooth, silent operation

both the motor controlling focus and the one that controls aperture are quiet, smooth and unobtrusive, ideal for shooting video

Fine tune your focus

if AF (Auto Focus) can’t lock on or focuses on the wrong subject, step in and take total control with DMF (Direct Manual Focus)

Smooth things out with ED glass

Extra-Low Dispersion glass and two aspherical lens elements minimise distortion and improve image quality

Discover beauty in the blur

the circular aperture, a hallmark of E-mount lenses, lets you capture beautiful foreground and background blur effects

Built to last and a joy to use

with a tactile aluminium alloy finish, the lens combines outstanding quality with easy operability
