Why we recommend this

An f/1.8 aperture and 11-element optical design deliver sharp subject isolation with smooth bokeh, backed by STM autofocus that locks quietly on full-frame Sony E-mount bodies. The integrated USB-C port for firmware updates provides future-proofing not typically found in this class. Best for portrait photographers needing a fast, affordable 50mm prime and for macro hobbyists taking advantage of its 77.2/100 close-focusing score.

Why we recommend this

Weighing just 155g and measuring 1.6 inches long, this full-frame zoom uses three aspherical, two ED, and one ultra-high refractive element for corner-to-corner sharpness. Weather sealing and fluorine coating resist dust and splashes, while suppressed focus breathing and the 120mm Hybrid Zoom with an S9 body cater to video. Best for travel photographers needing an ultra-light wide-to-normal lens, with capable macro and landscape performance.
