All Models Portrait Lens with OSS?

[GeoS]

I love the portability of the a5100 but not the lack of IBIS. Is there a portrait lens (50mm-60mm range) or any prime telephotos with OSS? Thanks.

The Sony 35mm f1.8 (an APSC lens) Model: SEL35F18 should be on your short list. With the a5100's APSC sensor, your looking at a 52.5mm "full-frame equivalent".
Of course you could also buy the Sony 50mm f1.8 OSS (Model: SEL50F18) which is another APSC lens, and this time the full-frame equivalent would be 75mm.

If zooms are your thing, I love my Tamron 17-70mm f2.8, which has Vibration Compensation (VC) and is their version of OSS. Only problem is that this will definitely be awkwardly large on your a5100 and might take some getting used to.

Yes. Easiest way to find them is to go to B&H site and filter.

Remember you have an APS-C sensor so if you are looking for a full frame 50-60mm range you are looking at lens covering 35-40mm.

90mm Macro? It makes an amazing portrait lens.

Throwing in... the 85/1.8 Batis?

(I have the Sony 85 EF. No OSS. Batis tempted: I sometimes wish I had fallen for it)
