Description
Description
Your natural-view prime—bright, honest, and beautifully sharp.
If you want a lens that simply makes everything look like real life (only better), this S-Line 50mm is it. Wide open at f/1.8 it gives you clean, confident low-light shots and creamy, natural bokeh. Stop it down and you’ll get crisp detail from center to corners. It’s quick, quiet, and rock-solid—an everyday prime you’ll trust for portraits, street, product, and video alike.
What you’ll notice in use
