feedbacks more appreciated
@CIA- if you mean sony NEX bodies, i dont think there is a 50/1.8 lens for it. Unless you mean old manual focus 50/1.8 lenses with an adapter for the NEX. For portraits, it is always better to use longer focal lengths ranging from 70 to 200mm. A 50 is good but sometimes will give you a little distortion specially when you shoot nearer to your subject. 85 to 135 focal lengths are ideal. For NEX bodies having a 1.5 crop factor a 50 would be good. The sony 16/2.8 is considered wide-normal lens, thus not very suitable for portraiture. You can actually use your 50/1.8 with an adaptor to your NEX. But since its an AF lens, you will be shooting wide open all the time when mounted to the NEX body. There is a work around to change the aperture of your AF lens though, but could damage the mechanical & electronics parts of your lens when done frequently so i dont suggest it. But Here is how you do it:
1. Mount your AF lens on your dslr body.
2. Set the aperture you want in AV mode
3. remove lens from your camera while you press and hold the DOF preview button
This will lock your lens to that specific aperture that you just set. Now you can mount it on your NEX with the adapter with that aperture but you will be shooting at that aperture only until you do the sequence again in your dslr to set a different aperture. And when done frequently, it can damage your lens since its not designed to have its blades frozen at any aperture all the time unlike the old manual focus lenses. For me personally, i prefer the 85mm focal length for portrait![]()
