I don't think you can use Yen and just convert the amount, with how country economies fluctuate that's not reliable

When the lens debuted on Amazon it was priced at $250

I heard there were no dumb questions.

Why is this lens 200$ and this lens 900$?

Comparison

50mm f/1.8

It's cheap as hell but it's still very sharp. It's my every day lens since it's so compact and perfect for most types of photography.

Sony 50mm 1.8 lens (SEL50F18F), the Full Frame one, for 149.00 euro on amazon.es, link.

u/Rohkii · 2 pointsr/photography

Both of those are APS-C Crop lenses and would end up making your image quality suffer because of an auto crop.

Its hard to tell what focal length exactly the photographer is shooting just from pictures but you probably want a 50mm or maybe even an 85mm.

The options for this kind of setup are fairly wide, even for sonys smaller selection of lenses:

28mm 2 FE $450

50mm 1.8 FE $250

85mm 1.8 FE $600

Now for pricey options:

35mm 2.8 FE $800

35mm 1.4 FE $1600

55mm 1.8 FE $1000 (this is actually a really nice portait lens, a good medium length, and is considered by many to be one of the sharpest for the money)

50mm 1.4 FE $1500

85mm 1.4 FE $1800

Then there is a whole lineup of Zeiss Batis, Otus, and etc lenses in various focal lengths you can look into if you have more money.

But honestly If you are just looking for a good working portait lens i think Id suggest a zoom like the new Tamron so you can get more options.

Tamron 28-75mm F2.8 $800

Or if you are loaded:

Sony 24-70mm F2.8 GM $2200

I personally only own the 50mm 1.8 FE out of these and it works alright but I notice it not to be very sharp under F2.2 and seems to gain a lot of Chromatic Aberration. But it doesnt mean its not a good prime to just have on the camera most of the time.

u/HybridCamRev · 2 pointsr/Filmmakers

/u/DoctorDerpy - if you want a zoom lens and results like [this] (https://youtu.be/79jK_0XtkJ4), I recommend the [$899 (on sale) Sigma 24-35mm f/2 for Canon mount] (https://www.amazon.com/Sigma-24-35mm-F2-0-Lens-Canon/dp/B011QXQ5OY//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) plus a [$399 Metabones Smart Adapter IV] (https://www.amazon.com/Metabones-Canon-Mount-Smart-Adapter/dp/B014HYY258//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20).

The Sigma 24-35 is the only constant f/2.0 full frame zoom on the market and a very good value for your money.

$899 for the Sigma and $399 for the Metabones leaves you enough for a [$198 Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 "nifty fifty"] (https://www.amazon.com/Sony-FE-50mm-F1-8-Lens/dp/B01DLMD5O6//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20).

[Here] (https://youtu.be/Y07mEre61CA) is an example of the shallow depth of field "look" you can get from your A7s II and the 50/1.8.

With this lens setup, you'll have good coverage in the range between 24mm and 50mm for less than $1500.

Hope this is helpful and good luck finding the right lenses for your needs!

I wish! This one: This one:

Super budget lens, i dont recommend it very much. It takes a while to AF

u/GrowDoctorGuides · 1 pointr/microgrowery

I have a sony a6000 with 50mm prime lens. You could get the macro version but this makes for a killer all-around lens with beautiful bokeh. I used 26mm extension rings to get it to focus at close range

Lighting is very important too. The best shots are not taken directly under your grow light

u/provideocreator · 1 pointr/videography

A good lens to start with is a 50mm prime 1.8. This is a great focal length and aperture to use, regardless of the camera, and they're typically the first additional lens people buy due to their large aperture, bokeh, and low price.

u/Sorry_Sorry_Im_Sorry · 1 pointr/videography

Shooting a "recap" video of my cousins wedding in a week. I have about $500 to spend on it. Currently, I have a:

- Sony A6500

- Sony 18-200 f3.5-6.3

- Sony 50 f1.8

I was thinking about getting a DJI Ronin S Essentials version but the biggest negative is it doesn't work with Arca mounts (my tripod and Peak Design adapters). Your thoughts?

u/LHOW27 · 1 pointr/AskPhotography

I'd go for the kit lens for now. especiallt to get your feet wet. Gives you a bit of versatility with shoots. IIRC the FE 50mm 1.8 is on sale right now for $199.00.

50mm 1.8

If youre into Astro/Landscape & Street, I personally have the Rokinon 24mm 1.4. covers those bases fairly well!

Rok 24mm

Also, Tamron just announced 3 new Prime lenses set to release ~January 2020. A 20mm, 24mm, and a 35mm. All are f2.8, and all will be $349.00

http://www.tamron-usa.com/ - They Should be featured on the front page at that link.

Cant Wait to see what you create!

u/samese56 · 1 pointr/photography

Ok so my a6000 is coming next week. and it comes with the standard 16-50. I wanted a lens for street photography and maybe portrait down the line(whenever I get better).

I was wondering which lens I should go for?

u/Wiiiihahaha · 1 pointr/AskPhotography

hey, sorry to double reply but i did some research and found this lens: Sony Fe 50mm F1.8 (SEL50F18F), Black

link (canadian site): https://www.amazon.ca/Sony-50mm-F1-8-Standard-SEL50F18F/dp/B01DLMD5O6/

Do you know if you'd recommend this? Or if it's more worth getting another lens slightly more expensive over this?

Also, 1.8 - 2.8.. on the scale which side is more towards that blurred background? I'm sorry i know it's newbie questions

u/LightningTea · 1 pointr/SonyAlpha

If you're just starting out and really want to do portraits, you need a "nifty fifty." Like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Sony-50mm-F1-8-Standard-SEL50F18F/dp/B01DLMD5O6/ref=asc_df_B01DLMD5O6/

u/HlValadeen · 1 pointr/SonyAlpha

I just realized you said you just started looking into cameras.

I'll leave some reference links for the lenses for you.

This is the FE

This is the non FE

FE are for full frame cameras (a7, a7r, a7r2). They're a larger sensor size.

The a6300 is aspc or a cropped sensor so it has a smaller sensor. The non FE lens is designed for the smaller camera.
