- Could the Sony 50mm 1.8 OSS be the best portrait lens for the Sony a6000, a6300, a6500? This is more of an overview rather than a review. I’ll leave the pixel peeping to more qualifying channels. I also go over why I choose this lens over the sony 50mm 1.8 fe, sigma 60mm 2.8, and Zeiss 55mm 1.8.

One word on the audio. I recorded a separate audio track using a lav mic...I sync'd it to my camera audio and edited the whole video. This is...was the best sounding video I've made, but I made a huge bone head move. I accidentally deleted the audio track from my gallery before I had the chance to back up the video...so I'm left with the audio from the a6000...which isn't too terrible, but could have been better, and you might be able to hear the alien clicking sound Sigma lenses are known for when focusing. So learn from my mistake...ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR STUFF before you go deleting files.
I like your video. I'm new to photography and got a Sony a6000 with this lens (Sony 50mm f1.8 OSS) and really like it. Should I also get the Sigma 16mm f1.4? What can the 16mm f1.4 used for? Thanks
Hi Rodrigo. I also have the sigma 16mm f1.4. I use it for both photography and video. My suggestion will be, since you are new to photography, practice with the 50mm for a while. I used the 50mm only for a whole year before I bought the 16mm. It’s not about how many lenses you have, it’s how well you use the lens you already have. Hope this helps.
@@jeffrendered3564 Thanks!
I'm literally waiting for this lens to be delivered next week and I can't wait.
Joe I think you will love the lens!
A very nice review. thanks for posting and sharing. This lens is on my wishlist for my Alpha 6000
great review, just got one, well, two. it seems to me good.
R Lester yea I really love this lens, I’m sure you’d love it too. :)
Great review Jeff... Thank you... I guess you are the best user i've ever seen with this lens... Your photos are really awesome with it... I was using sigma 30mm f1.4 for a year, I'll buy a second hand sel 50mm soon i hope... And I'll have a budget for godox tt685s may be... I hope to see more videos from you esp. about lightning systems with sony mirrorless...
Thank you Ayhan! I don't shoot with off camera flash a lot, but when I do i'll try to make a video on it. My flash set up is super simple, it's just one speed light, and one small softbox and a remote trigger.
@@jeffrendered3564 I look forward to watch if u do a video about it Jeff. I will do the similar settings with yours i hope :) thank you again. If u publish more video about your works u may make alot of money from UA-cam btw
@@ayhancapan hi im stuck in between sony 50mm oss and sigma 30mm f1.4. which one has better video and image quality, can you help me ?
@@bangminah9471 May be it's too late to answer. Just now i've realised your question... I still didn't have a chance to use Sel 50mm f1.8 Oss... May be just because i love my sigma30mm f1.4. I get so sharp photos with this lens. And i've watched many reviews about both lenses. I know sigma 30mm is a slightly sharper lens with warmer colours. Also Sigma lens is a weather sealed lens. In a year no dust get in to my a6000 body. Which is surprising... But with my sony 16 50 kit lens, sensor was like a dust bin :D
Ayhan Çapan can I ask your opinion about that. I have the sigma 30 mm and I am thinking to buy the 50 1.8 . It is worthy?
Great review, really helpful thankyou
| I'll buy this lens. Thanks for reviewing and sharing how you've been using it. This lens has been in my wish list for so long and finally, your review convinced me. 😏
I think you would really love it! :D
Hi Jeff. Finally I paid off my credit on mortgage and i have 50mm f1.8 OSS. And I love the lens. Thank you so much for your awesome pics and recommendations.
congrats and im so glad the 50mm is working out for you!
Awesome pictures! If possible plz do a review on the Sigma 16mm. Thanks!
Thank you! I think I will after I spend a little more time with it. I’m not a Photography youtuber who cranks out 3 videos a week. I actually want to use it a while before I make a video. :)
great vid!
Thanks!
Hi, im using body sony a6500, and have sigma 30mm f1.4, for your opinion is it worth it im buy a sony 50mm oss, my normal using is video for event, wedding
Thank you very much Sir
Love my 50mm f/1.8 OSS lens...
Nice review Sir, I have a6400 with sony 18-135 lens, As an additional lens i am confused in between Sigma 56 and Sony 50 oss. What you recommend me please ?
I haven’t used the sigma 56. That lens is the equivalent of an 85mm on a full frame camera. The OSS in the song means optical steady shot...basically it means the lens is stabilized...less shaky. I prefer the Sony because I need fast focusing.
The noise of the lens in this video is very noticeable, you should use separate recording or a more quite lens
Yea i explained it in my Pinned post. I accidentally deleted the audio from my lav mic, so I had to use the audio from the camera. One thing about sigma lenses is the autofocus noise...no lens is perfect though. :D
Is this lens really silent on autofocusing or is it like the FE 50mm 1.8? I have borrowed and FE (no OSS) and the noise it's really loud. Sometimes the autofocus does not work too well
No autofocus lens is %100 silent, but in my experience, I haven’t been able to hear the motor. The sigma 16mm 1.4 makes a noise that’s noticeable...not so with the 50mm 1.8 oss. The FE 1.8 is for full frame...it doesn’t seem to autofocus as well as the 1.8 oss.
@@jeffrendered3564 I have an a6000 with 16-50mm kit lens. This lens has a great autofocus and absolutely not heareable noise on it. It's not full frame by the way. Have you ever used the 16-50 kit lens?
No I bought the body only and got the 1.8 oss right away. I knew I wanted to do portrait type and a fast f stop. The kit lens is very versatile but I got the camera/lens for work. 😄
@@jeffrendered3564 yeah right... Thanks for the support!
I want to use this lens for music videos, low light is mainly the reason i need this lens for, close up and long distance as you know how music videos are these days, i have the sony 6300 and will be filming in 4k of course, is this lens for me? It will be my first ever lens i will be purchasing on a camera, will i be happy with this lens for music videis in day light and low light, will this do the perfect job comparing to the kit lens for sony a6300 which i purchased 2 days ago but do not agree with low light conditions? Please help
hi, this lens will be better than the kit lens in low light performance.
@@jeffrendered3564 thank you so much for your reply, i got the sigma 16mm 1.4 lens is that a good option?
@@jeffrendered3564 good to hear, guess ill be happy tommorow for a music video shoot in low light then 👌
Sony 55 210 vs sony 50mm 1.8 lens
Vich is best sir for sony alpha a6000 camera
Hi. I don’t have the 55-210. I don’t need the 210 focal length. I don’t know what kind of photography you are into, but for portrait, the 50 is much better in my opinion.
On amazon it says it’s a full frame lens. Is it true this is for aps-c?
there is a full frame version, It will say FE. The one in the video has OSS and is made for APSC.
@@jeffrendered3564 ahhhhhhh whoops. thanks. kinda sad the FE has garbage auto focus apparently. have you heard if they have fixed that with any kind of firmware or anything? thanks for getting back to me so soon!
@@MikeMikeYT I haven't heard anything about a firmware update for that lens...from what I've heard...the autofocus is not as fast as the apsc 50mm...but unless you are shooting fast moving subjects, I imagine it should be fine. The problem with the Sony system, is there is no cheap alternative. The Zeiss 55mm is close to $900, and so is the Sigma 50 1.4.
So I have the a7ii with the Fe 50mm 1.8 and the autofocus is very slow or doesn’t lock on to the right part. I’m getting rid of it in favor of the a6500. Should I swap the Fe version for the apsc version also?
if you put a 50mm 1.8 on the 6500...the focal lengh becomes a 75mm with depth of field similar to a f2.8. If you want the 50mm focal lengh...get a 35mm.
Jeff Rendered it becoming a 75mm isn't a problem for me, since it should still be good for portraits
If you want the faster autofocus, the apsc 50mm is better.
Thanks for making this video! I think I'm switching to this lens and selling my 50mm full frame version.
When shooting portraits/couples what are your go to settings?
I mean do you shoot in manual mode usually? I haven’t mastered that yet.
Try aperture priority and set your ISO to auto. The camera will handle everything except aperture. A rule of thumb is to multiply the number of subjects by 2 for your aperture. For instance, if you have 2 subjects you can shoot at f4. Of course, this is subjective and its best to play around and find what you like for every shoot you do.
Jeff Rendered interesting. I shoot with a 6500 and a 16-70 f4 and haven’t had too many problems with that so far. Im considering picking up a lens to get down into the f1.8 area so was thinking the 50 might be good for it. Wonder if it is the difference in bodies? I feel like it wouldn’t be but who knows.
Jeff Rendered yea definitely. I didn’t realize the 6000 didn’t have it!
Jeff Rendered I have the 6300 and it does exactly what you speak of the shutter speed goes really low and all my pictures are blurry! Thanks for the tips guys! :)
Can you use this lens on a sony a5100?
Hi Chris, yes you can. You can check out other user reviews and price here: fave.co/2hhaytg
Wow that’s a nice chandelier in the background!
MightyGregu haha!
What does your lens kit look like?
Bryce Long 50mm 1.8 and sigma 16mm 1.4
This or the Sigma 56mm?
I am deciding on these two as well. Sigma has better pictures but almost twice the price.
@@emiliovalenciano2956 I ordered the Sony 35mm f1.8, and will order the 50mm and not the sigma 56mm. The 56mm suffers from pin cushion distortion in raw files which means more work on post processing. The Jpeg can be corrected with in body corrections. The sony 35mm and 50mm does not suffer from the same.
56mm is a great but no oss. But not a problem if you have a gimbal
Oh look, another UA-cam photographer in the house. Nice.
Sony 50mm 1.8 oss or Sigma 56mm 1.8 which one is better for Sony a6400?
The sigma 56 1.4 will give you the more traditional 85mm look. But it doesn’t have OSS and it’s a bit more expensive. But if you shoot a lot of portraits, it might be a great pick up.
@@jeffrendered3564 Thank you for your suggestion.
