50mm f/2.8 Sony Macro Lens

Get incredibly close to small subjects with the SAL-50M28 macro lens. It allows you to easily capture the most subtle details with spectacular clarity.

Sharp Macro Focusing

You can get closer to your subject to capture low-angle shots of insects, flowers and other natural wonders -- and broad depth of field lets you keep backgrounds in focus too.

Bright f2.8 Aperture

In conjunction with the Super Steady-shot® image stabilization system of the Sony ± (alpha) DSLR-A100 camera, this lens captures bright, steady images even working with hand-held camera in low light.

High Contrast and Resolution

Excellent optical precision gives your shots greater visual accuracy for close analysis of your subject.

Focus Range Limiter

Speeds auto-focus response by limiting the range of distances that are brought into focus -- Close-up Range, or Telephoto Range.

Focus Hold Button

For full creative control, a focus hold button located on the lens can lock auto-focusing.

Auto Clutch

In auto-focus mode, the manual focus ring does not rotate -- which improves handling ease.

Circular Aperture

Because aperture blades form a near circle at the wide openings used for low-light shots, spot-light sources have a pleasing circular defocus effect.
