50mm Lens

50mm Lens Features

A fast 50mm lens shares the same field of view as the human eye, hence delivering low amounts of aberrations. Generally, 50mm lenses are considered the most versatile prime lens and are an excellent choice for portraits, action and night time photography. When paired with a fast 1.8 large aperture, the 50mm focal length lets you take astounding photos with a shallow depth-of-field, making subjects stand out by applying a beautiful blur to the backdrop. For a Micro Four Thirds camera, a 50mm lens will have a 100mm effective focal length, that is great for short telephoto shooting and really tight portraits. 

Lens Mount & Compatibility

Before buying a camera lens make sure to determine whether it goes with your camera and its lens mount. There are a few original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) camera brands that produce their own cameras and then lenses that only go with their own camera lens mount. You will also find plenty of third-party brands that produce a huge array of photographic lenses for multiple camera brands and lens mounts. One third-party brand can make lenses for multiple types of lens mounts and for several brands.
