Samyang af 75mm f 1 8 fe vs sony e 50mm f 1 8 oss?

The Samyang 75mm f/1.8 FE is a full-frame lens, and on a full-frame body it gives a classic short-telephoto portrait view. At about 230 grams, it's light enough to carry all day. It has no stabilisation, so you'll rely on shutter speed. On APS-C it frames like a 112mm lens.

The Sony E 50mm f/1.8 OSS is made for APS-C, and it has optical stabilisation. On APS-C it frames like a 75mm lens, which makes it a good portrait choice on a crop body. On full-frame Sony bodies it only works in APS-C crop mode, at fewer megapixels.

If you shoot full frame, the Samyang is the portrait lens. If you shoot APS-C and want a fast, steady everyday lens, get the Sony. For help choosing a focal length, see portraits or the focal length converter.
