The Sony SAL-50F14 is a unique, ultra-fast prime lens. Its advantage is its brightness of F/1.4, which is basically the highest value that can be found in the series of ordinary lenses. Due to the excellent brightness, the lens offers a number of great features. The SAL-50F14 will take good photos even in very low light conditions. You will achieve very fast shutter speed. During a bright day, it´s no problem to use 1/8000sec at ISO100. Such fast exposure times are especially important for capturing dynamic images. It will even focus with high precision in the dark with no need for additional lighting. When shooting with wide-open apertures, the lens provides a shallow depth of field - this is very important when you need the background behind the subject to be blurred.
This lens offers a great variety of uses, making it a very versatile lens that will be useful in a lot of situations. Its parameters ensure that the lens will excel particularly in portrait photography. Its high brightness guarantees you will be able to take pictures under any lighting conditions, particularly when it comes to shooting in natural light. This feature will allow you to transfer the unique atmosphere of the location into your photo. The lens takes sharp photos even at F/1.4. This combination will result in exceptional images - your subject will be perfectly sharp and well rendered with a beautifully blurred background.

Sony Corporation is a Japanese company founded in 1946. Its headquarters is located in Tokyo. Its beginnings were humble. The first product sold under the Sony brand was a transistor radio. It was those radios that played a pivotal role in the company's expansion in the 1960s and the world quickly began to associate Sony products with a reliably stellar price-performance ratio.
In the 1970s, Sony was severely affected by the global economic crisis. Many analysts considered the company effectively defunct and could see no future for it. However, they underestimated the famous Japanese perseverance and courage. The crisis was not a disaster for Sony; on the contrary, it served as a launching pad to even greater heights. The company recovered and soon changed the media landscape with the development of the CD and later the DVD. In the early 1990s, Sony achieved another major success with the introduction of the PlayStation gaming console. It is the gaming consoles that best represent the intersection of the three key areas in which the company operates today – electronics, video games, and the entertainment industry.
