FE 50mm F2.8 Macro overview
The Sony FE 50mm F2.8 Macro is a 50mm f/2.8 prime for full-frame cameras on Sony E-mount, announced by Sony in August 2016. 39 cameras we track take it without an adapter.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits macro and travel.
No store we track in Singapore lists it today. It is listed in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia.
Worth comparing it with the Sony FE 50mm F2.5 G and Voigtländer Macro APO-Lanthar 65mm F2 Aspherical.
