SAL 50 F1.8 Lens Features
- SteadyShot INSIDE In-Camera Image Stabilization
A major reason for its compact, lightweight lens design is the benefit of SteadyShot INSIDE in-camera image stabilization, built into every (alpha) DSLR camera - and enabling lenses to eliminate the extra weight and expense of in-lens stabilization mechanisms. - DT Lens Design
A more compact, lightweight lens designed specifically for the APS-size CCD imager used in some Sony (alpha) DSLR cameras. - Smooth Autofocus Motor (SAM)
The built-in Smooth Autofocus Motor (SAM) eliminates the need to use a mechanical coupling system in the camera body to transfer auto foucs (AF) drive power and control signals to the lens. Instead, AF control signals from the camera body are sent to the lens-mounted SAM unit, which drives the focusing lens group directly, helping to assure smooth AF response. - ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass
To reduce chromatic aberration at telephoto extension, correcting certain wavelengths of light for sharp, clear images with well defined colors. - 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 defocused effect.
Please note: DT lenses are not recommended for use with the DSLR-A900.

I bought this lens because I primarily take photos in low light locations, such as concerts. I have used it for flowers, people, and everything in between and never disapoints! You will love it!

Comments about Sony Sony 50mm DT f/1.8 Lens:
I just bought this lens and I LOVE it. I had rented the 1.4 50mm earlier this year and was waiting for the 1.8. Although its plastic in stead of the metal(which keeps the cost down), it is Awesome! The absolute best [$] you can spend on a lens that will do amazing portraits!
