SongRaw, a new Chinese lens manufacturer, has just released their first prime lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras: the SongRaw AF 50mm F\/1.2 Moonlit. As its name suggests, this compact lens has autofocus capabilities and will be available in three different lens mounts, including Sony E, Nikon Z, and L-Mount. So, let<\/strong>\u2018s take a closer look at it!<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve never heard of SongRaw before, don\u2019t worry. This is the company\u2019s first product. It was founded by multiple former engineers and lens designers who decided to join forces to start a new company. For their first product, the company decided to focus on creating a new lens design and release what is, according to them, the \u201cfirst Chinese 50mm F1\/2 Full-Frame autofocus mirrorless camera lens.\u201d<\/p>\n

The SongRaw AF 50mm F\/1.2 Moonlit is a compact prime lens mainly made out of aluminum that weighs 900g\/1.98lbs. As previously mentioned, this lens covers Full-Frame image sensors, which is fairly impressive for a budget-friendly lens, considering its large F\/1.2 maximum aperture.<\/p>\n

On the lens, you\u2019ll find one focus ring, one aperture ring, and two switches: one AF\/MF switch and one to de-click the aperture ring.<\/p>\n

On the inside, the SongRaw AF 50mm F\/1.2 Moonlit features STM stepping motors for fast and accurate autofocus. According to SongRaw, the lens should be compatible with all AF modes your camera offers, including eye-tracking capabilities. Last but not least, the lens features an internal autofocus system, meaning the front of the lens doesn\u2019t move when you focus.<\/p>\n

The aperture diaphragm features 13 blades. Lastly, the minimum focusing distance is 52cm\/20.4in, and the front filter diameter is 72mm.<\/p>\n
