Designed for APS-C cameras but works with all E Mount cameras. Has a wonderful wide aperture at 1.8, opening wide enough to let lots of light in and give great shallow depth of field with beautiful bokeh. Primarily used as a portrait lens at 50mm, this can be used for good mediums and even wides if you get far enough away.
