SongRaw AF 50mm F1.2 FE MS Mirrorless Camera Lens (Sony FE Mount)

The SongRaw AF 50mm F1.2 combines a classic 50mm perspective with a large F1.2 aperture, autofocus and an optical design built around detailed image rendering.

The F1.2 aperture provides strong light-gathering capability and a shallow depth of field, helping separate subjects from their surroundings while creating a softer, more immersive background.

With 15 elements in 10 groups, including aspherical, ED and HR glass, the optical construction is designed to support image quality while controlling optical aberrations. HD Nano-Coating further reduces reflections, flare and ghosting.

How it works / Component breakdown

50mm focal length

The classic 50mm perspective provides natural-looking proportions and is particularly well suited to portraits and everyday photography.

F1.2 large aperture

The wide F1.2 aperture gathers more light, making it useful for low-light photography while allowing a shallower depth of field. This can create stronger separation between the subject and background.

Autofocus system

An STM motor with real-time position feedback provides the autofocus system. The lens also includes an AF/MF switch for quickly changing between autofocus and manual focus operation.

Optical Construction

The lens uses 15 elements in 10 groups, incorporating aspherical, ED and HR glass. This optical design is intended to control chromatic aberration and support image quality across the frame.

 HD Nano-Coating

The HD Nano-Coating is designed to reduce reflections, flare and ghosting. The supplied specification states an average single-side reflectivity as low as 0.2%.

Physical controls

A dedicated Fn button provides quick operation, while the AF/MF switch allows straightforward focus-mode changes.

Construction

The lens features an all-metal aerospace-grade aluminium construction with a cool-toned finish. The front lens element also has a hydrophobic anti-smudge coating.

Why choose this lens

The SongRaw AF 50mm F1.2 brings together a familiar 50mm focal length and a very wide F1.2 aperture in a full-frame autofocus design. Its combination of shallow depth of field, low-light capability, autofocus and physical controls makes it a versatile option for portrait-focused photography and other applications where subject separation is important.

Ideal uses

• Portrait photography
• Low-light photography
• Full-frame photography
• Subject isolation
• Creative shallow-depth-of-field work
• Everyday photography where a classic 50mm perspective is preferred

Minimum Focus

With a minimum focusing distance of 0.52m and 0.13x magnification, the lens can be used relatively close to the subject for more detailed compositions.
