    Sony 50mm F/1.8 SAM Lens

    July 3rd, 2009
    Sony 50mm F/1.8 SAM Lens

    The Sony DT 50mm F1.8 SAM is a compact and lightweight lens with a 50mm focal length. It is designed for α digital SLRs with APS-C type image sensor so on a 35mm format camera it will give focal length of 75mm. This lens boasts excellent portability and operability.

    The DT 50mm F1.8 SAM is an ideal choice for first-time fixed focal length lens buyers. It is said to deliver excellent color balance, crisp, natural imaging with high contrast and resolution.

    It features a large, bright F1.8 maximum aperture and a circular aperture mechanism for smooth background defocusing that is ideal for portraits and. Such a fast aperture can be used in tandem with your camera body’s integrated SteadyShot™ image stabilization to assure excellent low-light shooting performance.

    The DT 50 mm F1.8’s aperture range extends from F1.8 to F22 to provide you with expanded control over depth of field and dynamic expression. As a result, it offers a valuable of range of photographic expression that goes beyond what you can experience with standard zoom lenses.

    The lens features Sony’s newly-developed Smooth Autofocus Motor (SAM). It responds instantly to AF drive control signals from the camera and delivers power with smoothness and precision.

    Lens Reviews:

    Slrgear.com:
    While the lens is just slightly soft at ƒ/1.8, but when stopped down to ƒ/2.8 it provides sharp images indeed. Chromatic aberration is very well-handled, though when used wide open there is a bit of corner shading. Distortion is also very slightly noticeable. Only it could be better if it were full-frame compatible.

    Recent Reviews in DSLR Company: Nikon D5000, Pentax K-7, Panasonic GH1, Canon 500d, Olympus E620, Sony A380

    Recent Camera Reviews are here again - Let’s go!

    Let’s start with the Nikon D5000 that has gathered a great deal of attention lately. This 12.9 megapixel with DX-format CMOS sensor, 4fps continuous shooting and HD video capture has been reviewed at dpreview.com and they call its image quality and dynamic range undeniably impressive.

    Digitalcamerainfo.com also did a reviewed of the D5000. They are a bit stricter - they found its noise performance good and liked the way it handled high-contrast scenes. But as to image sharpness, the camera didn’t meettheir high expectations.

    Its lack of sharpness was also stated by Dcresource, but it is “like most of Nikon’s D-SLRs,” they said. Additionally, they mentioned the colors being generally pleasing, though reds could’ve been a bit more saturated.

    If you are still not tired of the Nikon  D5000, you can drop at one more place to read its review - photographyblog.com.

    The Pentax K-7, the most intriguing announcement of last month has been already reviewed – at photographyblog.com. Its specifications read like a keen photographer’s wish list and the image quality appeared to be very good with few drawbacks.

    A non-SLR digital camera that uses interchangeable lenses, 12.1-megapixel Panasonic GH1 joins this company. Though it doesn’t have the mirror box and pentaprism arrangement, it produces image quality that is pretty close the Canon Rebel T1i’s. Its review has recently appeared at imaging-resource.com.

    On the contrary, Photographyblog in their review state the GH1’s so-so image quality in low-light conditions, allthough praising the work of its video recording function.

    And what about the Canon Rebel T1i (aka 500D in the US, naturally) itself? Well, it has recently won a review at digitalcamerareview.com. According to it, this 15.1-megapixel camera with APS-C sized CMOS sensor delivers excellent HD video quality, exceptional ISO performance, andaccurate color and dynamic range.

    12-megapixel Olympus Evolt E-620 SLR camera that crosses the bridge between entry level models E520 and E-450 and the semiprofessional E-30 DSLR was reviewed at letsgodigital.org. They don’t complain much about its image quality but would like to see its signal/noise ratio improved.

    Dcresource are really glad that such a camera can enter your home without breaking the bank.

    And at last we have the Sony A-380 that was reviewed by letsgodigital.org. This 14.2-megapixel camera is the successor of the Alpha 350 though only its design is entirely new. As to image quality, it was slightly improved.

    Next time we’ll meet either lenses or compacts, I am not sure. Anyhow, stay in touch. Bye!
