Nex-5n w/ 50mm f/1.8 OSS lens - Sample Pics and 100% Crops!!

I received the Sony 50mm f/1.8 OSS lens as well as the Sony Nex-5n the other day, and had a chance to take a ton of sample photos from around the house.

That is some gigantic 50mm lens.

No offense, but are you a Sony employee?

agreed, that lens looks huge on that body. why'd they make it in chrome? black might make it less noticeable.

No I am not. I have a full time job and I review mostly Sony gear as a hobby/ side job in between photography gigs.

I have no affiliation with Sony whatsoever.

Cool man, carry on then, I enjoy your reviews.

Right-on Thanks! I also own a Canon 5D mark II and all the L Lenses needed for Pro wedding and studio work just so you know. So I have lots of canon Experience and I really do love the 5D mark II!!!

Best,
Jay

Agreed, man, that lens is HUGE for a 50 1.8! lol. Optically doesn't look to be the best, either, then again if you want a stabilized 50mm fast prime it's the only game in town right.

No. Sony's regular Alpha cameras have sensor stabilization, so their little $150 50mm f1.8 and $350 50mm f1.4 are stabilized on all Alpha bodies.

Pentax also has Sensor shift stabilization, so their fast primes are all stabilized.
