PolarPro LightLeak 50mm f/11 Lens (Sony E)

Overview

The PolarPro LightLeak 50mm f/11 Lens (Sony E) is a full-frame, fixed-focus 50mm prime for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras that adds a film look in camera. Its fixed f/11 aperture and classic normal-length view are suited to portraits, landscapes and everything in between, and an adjustable light leak ring brings in a nostalgic glow.

Fixed aperture and fixed focus keep things simple: you frame the shot and shoot, much like a point-and-shoot camera. The aluminium housing keeps the lens light and tough outdoors, and a 58mm front thread takes filters when you want to push the look further. It is a simple way to give everyday digital shots the look of a film camera.

Adjustable Light Leak Ring

Adjust the light leak ring to decide how subtle or strong the effect is, from a faint vintage hint to a bold look. Because it happens in the lens, the nostalgic result is captured in camera and does not need to be added in editing.

Point-and-Shoot Simplicity

The lens has a fixed f/11 aperture and fixed focus that holds from about 1 metre to infinity, so it works like a point-and-shoot camera with no settings to tweak. Its compact design makes it a good travel companion.

Classic 50mm Perspective

The classic 50mm focal length is ideal for portraits but still wide enough for landscapes and group photos. A 58mm front thread supports filters, giving you more say over the style of your images.
