In addition to its macro capabilities, the FE 50mm F2.8 Macro lens is also great for scenery and portrait photography. It has a minimum focusing distance of 0.16m and a wider frame compared to longer focal-length macro lenses, making it versatile for various types of photography. Weighing only 236g, it is lightweight and portable, and its dust and moisture resistant construction allows for use in different weather conditions. The lens also features ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass to reduce chromatic aberration and produce consistently sharp and high-quality images. With a circular aperture design, it can also create beautiful bokeh effects, and its optical and mechanical construction minimizes flare and ghosting, even without a lens hood.
