Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 Review

03/08/2017 By Heather

The Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 is the fifth standard lens for the full-frame Sony E-mount (excluding the 50mm f/2.8 macro) and it is also one of the least expensive at just shy of $250. Since there currently aren’t many affordable lenses for the system, it is certain to appeal to beginners or those who want to start building up a lens collection but find themselves on a tight budget.

As with all our most recent reviews, we’ve summarised our thoughts in video format below. You’ll also find a bullet point list of our main findings and a series of sample images. Enjoy!

Sony FE 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G OSS Review

14/04/2017 By Mathieu

The 70-300mmm G lens is the longest telephoto lens you can currently find for Sony APS-C and full-frame mirrorless cameras. This may not be the case for long, however, as Sony is committed to releasing more lenses for the E-mount system and rumors about a possible 100-400mm have already surfaced. Either way, a 70-300mm lens is a must-have zoom in every interchangeable camera system so let’s have a look at how good the Sony version is.

Sony 85mm f/1.4 GM Review

29/07/2016 By Mathieu

The Sony 85mm GM is the long-awaited f/1.4 portrait lens for the full frame E-mount system. It is part of a new family of professional lenses called G Master, which is a step above the G series. In addition to the partnership with Zeiss, Sony decided to create its own set of premium lenses to show that they are capable of creating high quality lenses of their own.

The Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 GM Review

04/07/2016 By Mathieu

I knew right from the start that reviewing this lens would not be an easy task. Would I end up rejecting it because of its size and weight or would I transcend the “mirrorless camera = small” concept and appreciate the qualities it has to offer?

Sony E 18-105 f/4 Review on the a6300

31/05/2016 By Heather

Although the Sony E 18-105 f/4 G PZ OSS was announced back in August of 2013, the first opportunity we had to use it was on the Sony a6300 this past month. Being an all-purpose lens with a very handy focal range and constant aperture of f/4, it accompanied us on a number of outings including an evening football game, a choir performance, and many nature walks.
