TTArtisan AF AF 56mm f/1.8 56mm
With a bright F1.8 aperture and an STM stepping motor, the lens provides smooth autofocus and soft bokeh from its 9-blade diaphragm in a compact, all-metal 245g body. The unique rear-cap Type-C port enables firmware upgrades without marring the lens barrel’s clean design. This 56mm prime (84mm equivalent) is ideal for budget-conscious Sony APS-C shooters needing reliable eye-tracking AF for portraits and street photography.
