Sony E 50mm f1.8 OSS Lens Test Video.
Here is a quick test video of the new Sony E 50mm f1.8 OSS with the Sony NEX 5N camera. We shot everything at f1.8 100 ISO with Tungsten White Balance. The manual focus is like waiting for a bus and the OSS is very quiet but does not perform as well as expected. The Sony 50mm f1.8 is fast and fairly sharp and will work well in a locked off position. However, I cannot recommend it for hand held video work. It’s just not there yet. We will get it outside for some exterior examples with higher f-stops.
A huge thanks to our model Tatiana Mariesa.
