sony 50 1.8 DTSlrGear.com,one of my favorite site for lens review and comparisons post a review for the new Sony 50 1.8.The Sony 50 1.8 announced lately with new sony 300 digital camera series and will provide an equivalent field of view of 75mm on an APC-S Sony camera.

At first glance the Sony SAL-50F18 50mm f/1.8 DT Autofocus Lens looks like a standard prime lens, but being a DT lens designed to cover Sony APS-C sized chips, it should correctly be perceived as a short telephoto lens. Its cost, design, and overall size all lead the tyro to comfortably accessorize their kit lens, and begin developing a library of optics for their camera.

I bealive that the new lens will of great quality as Sony put a lot of efford into their digital SLR camera merket.

SLRGEAR.COM review bottomline:"While the lens is just slightly soft at ƒ/1.8, it's no more soft than its contemporaries from other manufacturers, and when stopped down to ƒ/2.8 it provides sharp images indeed."
